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 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.
— R.V.

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 Clos Paradis Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
- Editors' Choice
- $23
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 2004 Domaine les Grands Groux Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)

Domaine Fouassier 2003 Empreinte Pinot Noir (Sancerre)
Made from 45-year-old Pinot Noir, this intensely perfumed wine is fresh, with bitter cherry and smoky flavors. There is some toast from the 12 months in wood, but the final impression is of red fruits and light acidity.
— R.V.

Domaine Fouassier 2005 Les Romains Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
- $22
Full and ripe, this wine is softly rich rather than mineral, but retains plenty of fresh, crisp green fruit flavors, touched with spice and pepper.
