Winemaker Notes
The 2023 Andre Neveu ‘Le Grand Fricambault’ Silex Sancerre is packed with aromas of bright apple, poached pear, lemon, and grapefruit, with hints of broom, subtle savory spice, and a distinct flinty minerality derived from the silex (flint) soils. The attack is ample and tender, and the palate shows a good balance between roundness and freshness. Clean and lively on the finish, which showcases clean, fruity notes of apricot, peach, and flint.
 
Food pairing
 This wine will go well with a range of fresh pairings, from shellfish or white fish to perfectly cooked asparagus, spring pea risotto, fresh leafy green salads, smoked trout Rillettes, and herb-marinated seared tofu. Chavignol, where Andre Neveu happens to be based, is also renowned for “Crottin de Chavignol”: miniature drums of goat’s cheese. All the more reason to lean into dishes (like the recipe below) that feature goat’s milk cheeses and herbs.
