SANCERRE CALCAIRE 750 ml

Description

Discover Sancerre Calcaire, a standout expression from the François le Saint collection by Domaine Fouassier, Sancerre's premier landholder since 1749. This family, now in its tenth generation, tends vines across the Loire Valley with deep-rooted commitment to organic and biodynamic practices on their expansive holdings.

Crafted exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc grapes thriving on a dedicated 6.26-hectare parcel of calcareous soils, these 30-to-45-year-old vines capture the essence of their terroir. The result pours a vibrant green straw hue, forming elegant legs in the glass. Expect a dry profile with medium body and a lively surge of fresh acidity, touched by minimal phenolics for purity.

Aromas bloom with perfumed white flowers, zesty lemon peel, bright tangerine, ripe melon, and soft pear creaminess. On the palate, layers unfold through citrus vibrancy and tree fruit depth, laced with subtle mineral notes. The texture builds dimension, leading to a refined finish dusted in almond spice.

From the heart of Sancerre in France's Loire Valley, this wine embodies generations of expertise. Domaine Fouassier's scale and stewardship ensure every bottle reflects the region's chalky earth and organic vitality. Ideal for those seeking a textured white that balances freshness with intriguing complexity, Sancerre Calcaire elevates everyday moments or pairs seamlessly with seafood, goat cheese, or herb-infused dishes.

Whether you're exploring Loire whites or building your Sauvignon Blanc collection, this offering from one of the valley's oldest names delivers reliability and surprise. Its dimensional character lingers, inviting repeated sips and a deeper appreciation for Sancerre's timeless allure.
