Notes on the Wine
Deliciously refined with ripe citrus aromas (lime, tangerine) and smoky notes from the silex terroir, with an ideal tense balance. The distinguished acidity of flint balances with black currant, mango, and citron flavors like a tightrope walker on a rope!
Notes on the Producer
Situated in the small village of Verdigny in the Sancerre region, the Fournier family has been making wine for many generations. The estate has grown from 5 acres in 1950 to almost 150 acres today, divided over the appellations of Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, and Menetou-Salon. The improvements made in vinification techniques and the permanent concern for quality result in well-balanced wines of great diversity.
In 1995, the Fournier family acquired the vineyards of Domaine des Berthiers, which previously belonged to wine personality Jean-Claude Dagueneau (father of Didier Dagueneau). They are situated in the hamlet of Berthiers, which is located in the village of Saint-Andelain. Along with the De Ladoucette family, Dagueneau was one of the key driving personalities of the Pouilly-Fumè region. His name and wines are world-famous.
