2022 vintage. The 2022 vintage has just been released for most of the Fouassier Sancerres, and you don't want to miss out on them. The Clos de Bannon is a 3 hectares vineyard with a clay on flint soil with southeastern exposure. White peach and flowers. In the mouth, it features bright white peach fruit, subtle herbs, juicy acidity, and culminating in a long finish with ripe pomelo and fresh spices.

2012 - Good mix of sharp green apple, greengage and lime, wet slate but rounded off by a creaminess which follows through on the palate finishing off on a bitter grapefruit note

Classic Sancerre expression with suberb texture and lenght. Could use a few years of cellar time for optimum integration.
