Editors' Choice

Price $40

Silex is the French name for the flint over limestone soil that occurs in the Sancerre and Pouilly regions. There is a definite character of tight texture in this wine, very mineral while it also has ripe fruit. This is a new wine from Fournier, an impressive addition to the range. — R.V. (8/1/2010)

Fournier Père et Fils 2010 Cuvée Silex Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)

Price $40

While this is certainly herbaceous, it also carries richer fruit flavors like apricots and melon to go with the grapefruit acidity. That gives it a rounded texture, full in the mouth and with a touch of minerality. Age this impressive wine another 1–2 years. — R.V. (6/1/2013)
