Sancerre Les Romains Fouassier (Domaine) 2013

Domaine Fouassier is a family-run property on the slopes of the Piton de Sancerre. The Fouassiers are one of the oldest winemaking families in the appellation, going back several generations. The vineyard boasts almost 56 hectares, planted with 80% Sauvignon and 20% Pinot Noir, and has been cultivated on biodynamic principles since the early 2000s. The wide range of whites make for a wonderful palette of wines - some light and fruity and others fleshy or mineral. The reds, as good Pinot Noirs, are elegant and distinguished.

Les Romans is a fine Sancerre, very typical and mineral. The nose is quite lively, with aromas of pear and chalky notes. The palate is both powerful and fine, succulent with rich and ripe fruit flavours and a lemony finish. This wine will go well with creamy dishes, curries for example and seafood.
