François le Saint
Sancerre Calcaire

François le Saint is a line of wines from one of Sancerre's most revered names. Established in 1749 in the heart of Sancerre, Domaine Fouassier is one of the oldest wine growing families in the Loire Valley with a history that spans 10 generations. This sauvignon blanc is certified organic and biodynamically farmed, from 30-45 year old vines grown on a 6.26ha plot of calcareous soils. After a native ferment in stainless, it rests there for a brief time on lees prior to bottling. Creamy and stony, with perfumed lemon and bright tangerine pith, melon, bosc pear riding a medium bodied, textural palate through to the lengthy and mouthwatering, humming mineral finish. Lovely typicity.
