The François Le Saint Sancerre Silex review: describes an aromatic, complex, and mineral-driven Sancerre. Reviews highlight its "crushed stone" minerality, citrus and stone fruit flavors, taut acidity, and a unique "chalky" texture from lees contact. The wine is praised for its finesse, elegance, and balance, making it an excellent aperitif or pairing with goat cheese and seafood.
Aroma and flavor profile
Nose: Citrus blossom, grapefruit zest, pear, green apple, lychee, and wet stone.
Palate: A blend of citrus (lemon, grapefruit) and stone fruits (peach, apricot, green fig), with pronounced minerality and salinity. Some reviews note a light lees creaminess that adds texture without softening the minerality.
Finish: Long and lingering, with buzzing rocks, flint, and salinity.
Texture and acidity
Acidity: Bright, taut, and racy.
Texture: Often described as having a fine, slick texture from lees aging, which provides mid-palate richness while maintaining the wine's overall mineral backbone.
