Domaine Fouassier 2008 Les Chailloux Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
- Cellar Selection
- $23
The name, referring to the flinty soil of the vineyard, says it all. It is a mineral wine that tastes of stony soil, flint and chalk. It has a great core of hardened steel, very firm, surrounded by intense green fruits, filled with apple juice and grapefruit flavors. For aging over 2–3 years.

Domaine Fouassier 2003 Mélodie de Gustave Fouassier Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
- Cellar Selection
- $36
Wood aged, giving a softly smoky and creamy style of wine, the acidity a whisper in the background of green plums and toast. This is smooth, ripe and richly full-bodied, a powerful wine that could still take some aging.

Domaine Fouassier 2008 Les Romains Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
- $23
A rounded wine, very green and opulent. Like many of the Fouassier wines, this needs time to breathe, as it gradually begins to show its intense currant, star fruit and green herbal character. Then the steel core comes through with a great burst of final acidity.

The Romans made it to Sancerre, hence the name of this wine. The flavors are rich, with a mineral edge to the notes of green fruits, plums and greengages and a serious citrus core. With its structure, the wine needs to age for 2–3 years.

Made from old vines in a single vineyard, very intense even in its youth. It has a smooth, creamy texture over a core of flint and herbaceousness. It gradually builds, offering green and white fruits and vibrant acidity. This is a beautiful wine.

Domaine Fouassier 2010 Les Chailloux Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)

Very pure—this has a straight line of acidity right to the wine’s citrus- and pineapple-flavored heart. It is structured and taut, with its acidity dominant. It is concentrated and ready to age for 2–3 years.

Domaine Fouassier 2010 Clos Paradis Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
- $22
This is a tropical-fruited wine, with mango and sweet peach notes showing the wine’s richness. As a complement, there is the taut green-fruit acidity that’s bright and fresh. The two together lend a rich, yet structured wine.
