Fournier Père et Fils 2008 Cuvée Silex Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
- Editors' Choice
- $40
Silex is the French name for the flint over limestone soil that occurs in the Sancerre and Pouilly regions. There is a definite character of tight texture in this wine, very mineral while it also has ripe fruit. This is a new wine from Fournier, an impressive addition to the range.

Fournier Père et Fils 2008 Grand Fumé Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
- Editors' Choice
- $32
Now mature, this rounded, ripe wine has yellow fruits, mango and a soft, opulent texture. It’s an impressive example of how well Sauvignon Blanc can age in Pouilly Fumé, a style that doesn’t quite forget the herbaceous edge of the grape while rounding it out deliciously.

Fournier Père et Fils 2009 Grande Cuvée Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
- $32
One of the pair of top end wines from Fournier (the other is the Grande Cuvée from Pouilly-Fumé) this ripe and full wine is soft and rounded. The initial herbaceous character gets replaced by a more sophisticated, rich and ripe character, intense and a very good pairing for food.

Fournier Père et Fils 2006 Grande Cuvée Fournier Vieilles Vignes Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
With an extra year and some light wood aging, this is a ripe, rounded wine. It brings out the almonds, green herbs and plays down the initial fruitiness. It has just the right intensity and structure.

Fournier Père et Fils 2007 La Chaudouillonne Grande Cuvée Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
- $33
With the extra year of maturity, this is turning into a toast and spice wine, with the citrus fruit now softening into ripe apples and peaches. The acidity remains, giving a satisfactory jolt of final freshness. The wine’s name means girl from Chaudoux, a small village near Sancerre.

Fournier Père et Fils 2007 Grand Fumé Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
- $32
This is very smoky, with flavors of bacon as well as a yeasty character. The fruit has migrated into a taut texture, spiced with parsley and bay leaf. It’s mature yet still zesty.

Fournier Père et Fils 2010 Cuvée Silex Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
- $40
While this is certainly herbaceous, it also carries richer fruit flavors like apricots and melon to go with the grapefruit acidity. That gives it a rounded texture, full in the mouth and with a touch of minerality. Age this impressive wine another 1–2 years.

Fournier Père et Fils 2009 Grand Fumé Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
- $32
The flagship wine from Fournier is rich, showing maturing Sauvignon Blanc along with smooth, creamy plum and apricot flavors. It is full and intense—a complex wine that will repay another 2–3 years of aging.
