Notes from the producer:

"Handed down through several generations, this family estate is surrounded by vineyards and overlooks the famous village of Verdigny. This unique location offers stunning views of the famous Sancerre hill. Today Jean-Marie Reverdy manages the flourishing Domaine de la Villaudiere with his wife, Catherine and their son, Guillaume. The youngest son, Baptiste also shares a love of wine. Once he has finished his studies, he intends to play his part in the family business.

The Silex wine is the selection of our old vines planted on the clay-flint hillsides of Ménétréol-sous-Sancerre and Sancerre. Grown sustainably without herbicides, this rare terroir gives the wine remarkable ageing potential. Their south/south-east exposure ensures that these hillsides enjoy optimal sunshine every year. We use organic fertilisers to limit yields and vigour. Everything possible is done to ensure the grapes reach perfect maturity."
