Aromatic and fruity. This has yellow fruits, lychees, some grapefruit and a spicy element from new wood. It has weight, without being heavy.

Because of the rocky soils, this wine is always the most intense, and regal personality when young, and can age gracefully for 20 years. Silex proudly displays the elegance and the mineral nuances of its soil. The mouthfeel texture compares to lemon sorbet sensations. The minerality is precise, intense and complemented by a hint of gooseberry and lime flavors.

Visually, its clear, pale yellow color, with a slight hint of green, suggests a lovely freshness. The nose reveals a beautiful aromatic intensity: the initial aromas release notes of ripe tropical fruits, mango, and passion fruit, mingled with delicate lemony and floral touches such as acacia blossom and elderflower. These are followed by more subtle notes of flint and gunflint, typical of great Pouilly-Fumé wines, evoking their terroir of origin.
On the palate, the attack is crisp and lively. The balance between natural acidity and roundness makes it a harmonious and structured wine. Aging in very light oak barrels adds complexity, with discreet notes of vanilla and hazelnut that highlight, without masking, the character of the Sauvignon Blanc. The finish, fresh and saline, prolongs the tasting experience with a pleasant and persistent mineral sensation, giving the wine a true signature.

Pale golden-green with green tints. A harmonious nose of strength and freshness, featuring notes of orange peel, grapefruit, beeswax, and floral hints. On the palate it offers a full and elegant fruit profile with mineral complexity, herbaceous fruit, and zesty acidity. A fresh fruity beginning, being fleshy and robust, with a good structure that balances fruity roundness and mineral firmness. The finish is very long, making Baron de L one of the finest expressions of Sauvignon Blanc.
