Thomas Sancerre Blanc Silex
Domaine Michel Thomas
France - Loire Valley - Sancerre

The special bottling "Silex" is limited each year to 400-500 cases. The vines of Michel Thomas cover three types of soil, with Le Roc-Silex being the hardest stone soil of the vineyard, and the sole source for this wine. The siliceous soil imparts pleasant notes of fruit and a dry, smoky, mineral flavor. This wine is bottled using traditional methods without filtration, allowing for an authentic and natural taste.

Intensely aromatic and concentrated Sauvignon, this is a wine of great concentration and excellent balance. Aromas of fresh herbs, with flavors of citrus, ripe gooseberry, apple and a hint of gunflint.
