WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine François et Julien Pinon Silex Noir Vouvray is a premium quality white wine produced by the renowned winemakers François and Julien Pinon. The wine is made from Chenin Blanc grapes grown in the Vouvray appellation, which is known for its unique terroir and ideal vineyard conditions. The vineyards are situated on flinty soils, which impart a distinct mineral character to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the natural flavors and aromas of the grapes. The resulting wine is crisp, refreshing, and elegant, with notes of citrus, green apple, and a subtle hint of flint. It is a perfect accompaniment to seafood, salads, and light dishes.
