Description

Domaine Gerard Fiou Sancerre Blanc AOC 2023

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Sauvignon Blanc from old Sauvignon vines planted on the famous flinty hillsides of Saint-Satur, covering the easternmost part of the Sancerre region.

Taste Profile: This white Sancerre has aromas of gunflint and a spicy bouquet, powerful in fruit and body, reminiscent of Sauvignon flowers and vine sap. With an exemplary balance, finesse and harmonious expression, it develops all its elegance as it matures in bottle.

Winemaking Process: Vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, this wine is aged on its fine fermentation lees, which are regularly put back into suspension by stirring for over 6 months.

Bright & Mineral Whites

From the limestone character of Sancerre to the green, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc of Marlborough, this style group often shows off cut grass and wet stone. Often associated with coastal regions or limestone based terroir, these wines are characterised with crisp acidity, mineraiity, citrus tones, with a hint of grassiness
