Expert Review - Vintage 2023
James Suckling 93 Points | A lively, focused and precise sauvignon blanc showing notes of sliced apples, cinnamon and mild spices. Medium-bodied with vivid acidity. There is a fresh lemon character balancing the comforting fruit. Plenty of energy, with an agreeable finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. - James Suckling 93
Kristen Bieler of the Wine Spectator writes 90 Points | Nectarine and salty lime notes reveal a waft of smoke in this steely, well-structured version. A firm beam of acidity and a mineral spine hold strong, with the herbaceous finish marked by wet stones and refreshing brininess. Drink now through 2029.

Since 2013, our Sancerre vineyards have been certified Organic by Ecocert. The idea of converting the vineyard to organic farming appeared to us in 1990, following a succession of whims of Nature. Caring for this heritage has therefore become a priority by practicing a farming that ensure the sustainability of the vineyard. Purity and excellence are the key words at the estate where our team strives every day to reach the maximum quality of all the wines we produced. This work begins in the vineyard and continues in the cellar through thoughtful practices, in order to ultimately produce authentic and alive wines.

Rebecca Gibb MW writes: Grown on flinty soils, the 2023 Le Rochoy Terroir de Silex is a lively, youthful wine with some spritz-giving vivacity. Light in body with plenty of energy, the tension and spice naturally provided by flint comes through on the finish. There's a modest concentration of citrus and herbal fruit. The 2023 fades too quickly. - Vinous
