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 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 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 Les Caillottes Sauvignon (Pouilly-Fumé)
- Editors' Choice
The weight of good Pouilly Fumé is all here, with a rounded texture and a vegetable garden of flavors. There is a steely streak of acidity shooting through, along with some tight apple skins. The finish is soft, toasty, rich.

Fournier Père et Fils 2008 Les Caillottes Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)

Fournier Père et Fils 2003 Les Chardouillonne Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
- $25
With two years of aging, this wine has developed delicious nutty aromas and flavors; they have tamed the great, crisp fruit that still underlies what is a complex, intense wine. There is good depth to the white fruits and the aromas of white spring flowers. Imported by David Milligan Selections.
