Domaine Fournier Père et Fils Silex Sancerre Blanc Bourboulenc and a river stone mineralityThe 2023 Silex opens with flinty, smoky mineral aromatics layered over lemon sorbet, lime, and gooseberry, immediately signalling its pure silex origins. The palate is precise, vibrant, and intensely mineral, delivering a cool, citrusdriven profile with a sleek, almost crystalline texture. Bright acidity keeps everything taut, while the finish is long, smoky, and deeply etched with flint, making this one of Fourniers most terroirexpressive cuves.
