François le Saint is a line of wines from one of Sancerre's most revered names. Established in 1749 in the heart of Sancerre, Domaine Fouassier, who produces this wine under the name François le Saint, is one of the oldest wine-growing families in the Loire Valley with a history that spans 10 generations. This certified organic and biodynamically farmed sauvignon blanc is made from 30-45 year old vines grown on a 6.26ha plot of calcareous soils. After a native ferment in stainless steel, it rests there for a brief time on lees prior to bottling. The wine offers perfumed white blossoms, lemon peel, tangerine, fragrant melon, and creamy pear on the palate, finishing with a dusting of almond spice. A 75cl bottle of this wine is included in the purchase.
