Winemaker Notes

Over the past three decades, Pascal Janvier has set a high standard for the appellation with consistently exceptional Chenins, such as this Silex, which achieves an extraordinary balance of honeyed richness and precise minerality, making it ideal to serve at apéro alongside a favorite goat cheese.

This "Cuvée du Silex" is the reserve bottling of Pascal Janvier. The soils are flint-dominated and the resulting minerality is astounding. This is made from Chenin Blanc and comes from the tiny appellation of Jasnières due north of Vouvray. An unctuous white that's full of raw honey, chamomile, and white flowers. Delicious and supple, and an excellent companion to soft and hard cheeses.
