Loire Valley
Sancerre "Les Grands Champs" - 2022 - Paul Fouassier
Domaine Fouassier
Complex and luscious nose carried by notes of butter, of lemon confit, flowers, mineral backbone... On the palate: clean and direct, elegant, the texture is soft and delicate, this is a mouthwatering juice with a saline finish.

This cuvée is 100% Sauvignon from 30- to 45-year-old vines, organically and biodynamically farmed since 2011. The vines are Guyot pruned, planted on a 6.3-hectare limestone plateau. Hand-harvested with yields around 45 hl/ha. Vinification: destemmed grapes, direct pressing, aged on lees for one year in stainless steel tanks. Light sulphur addition before bottling at the estate. All cellar work follows the lunar calendar.
Paul Fouassier
Paul Fouassier, who earned his viticulture and oenology degree in 1998, worked in several leading Bordeaux châteaux (Pavie and Angelus among others) before returning to his large family estate in 2001. The estate holds 60 hectares, 50 ha of Sauvignon and 10 ha of Pinot, which he manages with his cousin Benoît. The duo represents the 10th generation, drawing the best from the rigour of Benoît...
