More about 2022 Domaine Chauveau Croq Silex Pouilly Fume Benoit Chauveau dedicated his life to viniculture, taking over his parents' plots in the mid-1990s to create the best wines in the region. Since then, Benoit and his wife, Emmanuelle, have developed a successful international marketing program and expanded Domaine Chauveau's distribution, pleasing consumers worldwide. The Pouilly-Fumé AOC thrives on siliceous clay soils that promote a distinct gun-flint minerality characteristic in Sauvignon Blancs. Meticulous vineyard practices and modern techniques ensure grapes are harvested optimally, preserving inherent freshness. The 2022 Croq Silex was fermented in stainless steel and aged on the lees for five to eight months displaying tension and zesty acidity balanced with citrus and tropical fruit notes, finishing with the crisp gun-flint minerality that defines Pouilly-Fumé.
