The 2025 Les Silex opens with lifted aromas of citrus zest, white peach, and green apple layered with subtle smoky flint and fresh herbs. On the palate, the wine is crisp and linear, driven by bright acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone. Lemon curd, grapefruit pith, and hints of gooseberry unfold with remarkable clarity. The silex soils lend a distinctive tension and chalky texture through the mid-palate. The finish is clean, saline, and persistent, leaving a refined impression of freshness and terroir.

Non-Vintage Data Sheet

The Estate

Pierre Prieur is a family-run domaine rooted in the village of Verdigny, one of Sancerre’s most respected hillside sites. The Prieur family focuses on expressing terroir-driven Sauvignon Blanc, with particular attention to soil influence and balance. Their wines are known for precision, minerality, and classic Loire Valley restraint.

Wine Making

Grapes are sourced from estate parcels planted on flint-rich silex soils, which are prized for imparting structure and minerality to Sauvignon Blanc. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve aromatic purity and freshness. The wine is aged on fine lees for added texture without oak influence. Minimal intervention is practiced to allow the vineyard character to shine through.

Food Suggestions

This Sancerre is a natural match for fresh oysters, clams, or classic goat cheese such as Crottin de Chavignol. Its acidity and minerality also pair beautifully with ceviche, grilled white fish, or salads featuring citrus and fresh herbs. For vegetarian options, try asparagus, pea risotto, or dishes with fennel and lemon.
