Silex is a flint-and-sand-based soil type found primarily in the Loire Valley. It’s formed from a mixture of clay, limestone and silica and it gives the Chenin Blanc grape a special flavour in Vouvray. Pale straw in colour, this wine has a nose of quince and honey. It’s medium-bodied with a minerally pear flavour, clean with a honeycomb wax finish.
