Sancerre "Les Romains" - 2021 - Paul Fouassier
Domaine Fouassier
A nose with iodised notes, and aromas of citrus and honeysuckle... Palate: a subtle juice, with ripe fruit, lovely bitter notes, and a long finish. Excellent ageing potential.

This cuvée is 100% Sauvignon from 45-year-old vines, farmed organically and biodynamically, planted on flinty clay soils on a southwest-facing slope, covering three hectares. Hand-harvested. Vinification: destemming, direct pressing, aged in egg-shaped concrete for one year, followed by another year in stainless steel tanks, all according to the lunar calendar. Light sulfur addition at bottling.
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...
