Sancerre "Les Grands Champs" 2022 Domaine Fouassier
The Sancerre "Les Grands Champs" 2022 from Domaine Fouassier is a refined white wine that best expresses the characteristics of the Sancerre AOC appellation, located in the renowned Loire region of France. This wine represents the essence of the local terroir and the artisanal skill of the historic Domaine Fouassier winery.
The grapes used for "Les Grands Champs" come from vines planted on predominantly chalky limestone and marl soils. This type of soil gives the wine an extraordinary minerality and a unique structure, typical of the best Sancerre wines. The biodynamic approach adopted in the vineyard fully respects the environment and the natural cycle of the plants, following Maria Thun's lunar calendar for all operations.
The grape variety used is Sauvignon Blanc, cultivated with biodynamic methods that preserve the purity and integrity of the fruit. Vineyard practices aim to maintain low yields to obtain grapes of the highest quality.
The winemaking process for "Les Grands Champs" involves spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel containers, using only indigenous yeasts. This method enhances the varietal characteristics of Sauvignon Blanc and maintains the qualities of the terroir. Aging also takes place in stainless steel for a period of 12 months, allowing the wine to develop complexity and finesse without the influence of wood.
On the nose, the Sancerre "Les Grands Champs" 2022 presents a fascinating bouquet of wildflowers, aromatic herbs, yellow-fleshed fruit, and citrus notes. These aromas harmoniously intertwine, creating a complex and inviting olfactory sensation.
On the palate, the wine is soft and mineral, with a broad and airy structure that makes it pure and tense. The great acidity that supports it gives freshness and liveliness, balancing the sweetness and delicacy typical of this version of Sancerre.
Sancerre "Les Grands Champs" is ideal for pairing with appetizers and fish-based first courses. Its freshness and minerality enhance the flavors of the sea, making it perfect for seafood dishes and raw fish, as well as more elaborate preparations like risottos and pastas with light fish sauces.
