This 100% Sauvignon Blanc comes from one of Sancerre’s most iconic terroirs—those flinty, mineral-rich soils that really make the variety sing. Aged in ancient caves carved 200 million years ago (how cool is that?), it’s got classic Loire Valley character: citrus, a touch of gun flint, and a beautifully balanced, full-bodied palate.
It’s fresh, vibrant, and elegant with a subtle richness from aging on the lees. Basically, if you’re into Sauvignon Blanc that’s got both precision and depth, this is a solid pick. Serve chilled, pair with seafood, goat cheese, or just enjoy on its own.

The caves at Domaine de la Perriere were naturally carved 200 million years ago. The caves are also the ideal location to age the wines from the 106 acres of the estate's Sancerre vineyards, located in the districts of Bannay, Verdigny, Saint-Satur, Crezancy and Vinon. These terroirs are where Sauvignon Blanc can best express the symphony of its mineral and grassy aromas in harmony with the flinty soils to create powerful wines with impressive ageing potential. The designation of 'Silex' for this wine refers to the region's Silex, or flinty soil, that runs in a narrow band along a fault line passing under the town of Sancerre.

WINEMAKING
After cold static settling for 48 hours, the clear must ferments in temperature controlled vats between 64? and 71F for approximately 10 days. After three weeks, we start to pump over the fine lees to give the wine freshness, volume and finesse. This phase lasts five months.
TASTING NOTES
Beautiful and bright appearance. This fine wine is well-balanced and fruity with aromas of citrus and gun flint. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, marked by very mature, supple and sophisticated substance.
