NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, Paul Thomas Silex Sancerre offers enticing aromas of citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, along with hints of green apple and white flowers.These delicate floral and fruity notes are complemented by a subtle herbaceousness, adding complexity to the bouquet. The palate of this wine is vibrant and refreshing, with a lively acidity that brings a zesty and crisp character. The citrus flavors continue to shine, accompanied by flavors of ripe pear. The flinty mineral undertones, characteristic of Silex soils within the Sancerre area, provide a distinct sense of place and contribute to the wine's overall elegance. This wine pairs particularly well with seafood, such as oysters, grilled fish, or shrimp, as well as with fresh goat cheese or light salads. Drink within 8 years.
