Domaine Gerard Fiou Sancerre Rouge AOP 2020
Florent Bourgeois passionately upholds his family's winemaking legacy at Domaine Gérard Fiou. He meticulously tends to the vineyard and winery, crafting wines that exemplify the estate's commitment to high standards and precision.
Since 2013, Florent has managed Domaine Gérard Fiou, drawing on his family heritage, background, and global winemaking experiences to create expressive and exceptional terroir wines, renowned among Sancerre's finest. The Domaine, spanning 9.8 hectares, is planted with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.
Situated on a flinty hillside with clay-siliceous soil in Saint-Satur, near the Loire River and the peak of Sancerre, this estate benefits from the rare and distinctive flint terroir, making up 20% of Sancerre's terroirs, alongside "terres blanches" (40%) and "caillottes" (40%)
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinot Noir from old vines planted on clay-silica soils with a south western exposure
Taste Profile: This wine of deep ruby colors develops aromas of very ripe mature red fruits (Morella cherries, plums...) and vanilla. Its great concentration (old vines with small yield) shows a pleasant structure that can age for a good couple years.
Winemaking Process: The alcoholic fermentation is made in stainless steel thermo regulated tanks between 26 and 32°C. During this time, grapes are punched down twice a day until the wine erupts over the cap to extract the best colors and the ripest tannins. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 6 months in oak barrels.
