Domaine Fouassier La Garenne Sancerre Organic Biodynamic 2022 750ml

Expert Review – Vintage 2022

Wine Enthusiast 91 Points | Just-ripened fruit flavors jump out of the glass of this Sancerre including peach stone fruit, dried mango, quince and lemon citrus. Stoniness on the midpalate is enlivened by supportive acidity. Confidently pair with seafood and sauted dishes including breaded chicken.

Winemaker Description

Located in the limestone-chalk terroir of Bourges in the Sancerre appellation, this winery is among the most beautiful in the region. Its vineyard is biodynamically cultivated.

The Fouassier family is one of the oldest winegrowing families in the village of Sancerre. Benoit and Paul Fouassier, cousins at the head of the estate today, are the 10th generation of Fouassier to have worked the estate’s vines since 1742. The Fouassier family pioneered vinification by lieu-dit in the early 1980s. Since then, their work has focused on selecting the best parcels to express in the bottle the taste of the terroir on which the vines flourish. All work is carried out as naturally as possible, which is why the estate turned to organic and biodynamic farming over 15 years ago.
