Discover the quintessence of the Loire terroir with this exceptional Sauvignon Blanc. The "Terre de Silex" 2022 from Domaine Berthier presents itself as an outstanding ambassador of a remarkable vintage.
The color is a brilliant golden yellow, reflecting the vintage's sunshine. The nose reveals a complex, profound bouquet. Racy notes of flint blend with the crisp freshness of the Sauvignon, underscored by subtle citrus aromas and a fascinating minerality.
A powerful yet elegant taste experience unfolds on the palate. The attack is straightforward and taut, supported by impressive minerality. Fine tannins and a lingering saline note lend the wine structure and complexity. Despite its power, it maintains remarkable freshness and finesse on the lingering finish.
The grapes for this exquisite wine come from a special plot in Saint-Père, where the vines are rooted in flint-rich clay soil dating back to the Cretaceous period. This unique soil composition gives the wine its characteristic flint-like character. Gentle pressing and controlled fermentation at 15-18°C preserve the authenticity of the terroir. The wine then ages on its fine lees for several months before bottling in the spring.
Enjoy this wine at 10-12°C. It pairs perfectly with sophisticated dishes such as sushi, tuna carpaccio, or characterful cheeses. While already impressive, it has the potential to age for 2-6 years, gaining further complexity.
The 2022 "Terre de Silex" from Domaine Berthier is a striking example of the quality and potential of this region. It masterfully combines power and elegance, tradition and innovation—a truly exceptional representative of Loire wines.
