François le Saint Sancerre Silex 2023
Sancerre, Upper Loire, Loire, FranceFrançois 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 35 year old vines grown on a 3.15ha plot of clay soils with flint and marls, native fermented. Crushed stones, green fig, lemon pith and peel streak through this energetic white, buffered slightly by a fine slick of lees bedding the stony palate. The finish lingers with buzzy rocks and ample salinity. Such a lovely wine of place and people.Tasted: 25 February 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $60.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
