Fouassier's Organic Second Label. The ripeness is higher: more tropical fruits and flowers than the grapefruit pith, gooseberry, and lemongrass flavors I expect from Sancerre. It drinks like it should be a lot more expensive than it is.

This is what I want from Sancerre and all Sauvignon Blancs. Crisp lemon and mineralty with an amazingly perfect acidic finish. I could drink this all day every day.

Beautifully delicate. Notes of lemon pith and chalky mineral on the nose. Palate is lifted and vibrant with deep lemon, stones and flint. This is not a powerhouse Sancerre. this is subtle and delicate. It reminds me of Pascal Cotat's Mont Dames; subtle beauty. 2013

We had the 2018 Vintage on 10/8-9/22. This is a medium bodied wine that is fruit forward. There was the expected grapefruit and citrus but there was a sweetness like elderberry and honey. Nice finish. There has got to be better
