The Sancerre Blanc Les Grands Champs 2023 by Domaine Fouassier comes from the renowned Loire appellation of Sancerre and beautifully reflects the character of its terroir. Domaine Fouassier is one of the historic estates of the region and is especially known for producing finely crafted, terroir-driven Sauvignon Blanc wines. The “Les Grands Champs” vineyard gives rise to wines that emphasize elegance, precision, and mineral tension.
In Sancerre, Sauvignon Blanc is the defining grape variety and thrives on the region’s limestone- and flint-rich soils. These soils are what give the wines their signature freshness, striking minerality, and cool, linear style for which Sancerre is celebrated worldwide. Compared to more fruit-forward Sauvignon Blanc styles, the expression here is often more focused, saline, and distinctly terroir-driven.
In the glass, it shows a bright pale straw yellow colour. The bouquet reveals notes of citrus fruit, white currant, and delicate herbal nuances, accompanied by a subtle flinty mineral touch. On the palate, the wine is precise, fresh, and elegant, with lively acidity, refined fruit, and a long, clean, mineral finish.
