François le Saint, Silex 2022, Sancerre white 6X75cl

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. Perfumed white blossoms, lemon peel, tangerine, fragrant melon, and creamy pear stream the slender palate, finishing with a dusting of almond spice.
