LES CHAILLOUX SANCERRE, CHERRIER

This single-vineyard wine is grown on old vines in a mixture of the three main types of soil: silex, gravel and chalky clay. Yields are kept low, and the wine never sees wood. That lends freshness. While the silex is evident in a flinty character, the chalk provides structure and the gravel gives elegance. A delicious wine and quite a value..
