Hubert Brochard Chateau de Fontaine Audon Sancerre Terres Silex

The Hubert Brochard Château de Fontaine Audon Sancerre Terres Silex is a paragon of finesse and refinement from the Loire Valley, specifically cultivated on soil rich in flint and marl. This particular soil composition contributes to a unique mineral profile. Upon opening the bottle, a captivating palette of aromas immediately unfolds. Its subtle complexity opens with fresh notes of flowers and white fruit, gradually blending with refined citrus aromas of lemon and lime, along with a hint of green apple. These aromas invite deeper exploration and promise a refreshing experience. The aroma is enhanced by a delicate note of freshly cut grass and a hint of almond blossom, adding a slightly sweet, almost creamy nuance to the overall experience.

Lively Taste Experience

As soon as the wine touches the palate, the promise of aroma is fulfilled by a lively, minerally palate perfectly balanced with acidity. The Hubert Brochard Château de Fontaine Audon Sancerre Terres Silex reveals a spectrum of flavor layers, starting with a crisp citrus freshness that evolves into deeper notes of white peach and pear. These fruits are beautifully framed by a subtle spiciness and a slightly salty undertone, giving the wine an intriguing complexity. The long aging "sur lie" in stainless steel vats imparts an elegant structure and a soft texture, while the amphora aging adds an extra dimension with a slightly oxidative character, contributing to its longevity and flavor development.

Gastronomic Combinations and Storage Potential

This beautiful Sancerre is not only a pleasure to drink on its own but also makes an excellent accompaniment to a wide variety of dishes. Perfect with refined fish dishes, shellfish, and crustaceans, this wine harmoniously complements the fresh, briny flavors of the sea. Pairing it with grilled salmon or a refreshing ceviche emphasizes the versatility of this cuvée. Thanks to its excellent aging potential, which can extend to 10 years, the wine will continue to develop, further maturing and deepening its complex aromas and flavors. This aging promises an even richer experience for those with the patience to let this wine evolve, making each future bottle a new discovery of what the Loire Valley has to offer.
