Domaine Fouassier Les Chasseignes Sancerre France 2023

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 several generations. For centuries they have dedicated themselves to preserving and capturing the terroir and the noble Sauvignon grape varietal through an extensive range of appellation wines. The Fouassier family’s rich winemaking history included Jules Fouassier, a very influential grape grower during the Phylloxera epidemic of the late 19th century. He was the first to utilize copper and sulphur on vines to combat disease, and also single-handedly planted the famous Clos Paradis vineyard in 1902.

Tasting Notes: A rather discrete nose, hesitating between ripe fruit and stone. Slender on the palate, with a ripe, impetuous substance followed by a tasty, fresh and intense finish.

Pairing Notes: Perfect with goat cheese, grilled lobster and other seafood dishes
