Domaine Bernard Fleuriet | Sancerre
2008
OUT OF STOCKThe finest and most distinctive Sauvignon Blanc in France comes from Sancerre. After several months of tasting dozens of Sancerres, we came across the Fleuriet family who run their vineyard as they should—with all their grapes being picked by hand and the wine made with great passion. The result is a very fine Sancerre.
The Press
‘Fine, fruity nose, with plenty of gooseberry and succulent yellow plum, but a nice nettley, grassy background too. On the palate it is well-delineated and balanced, with a poised elegance but a good thrust of fruit and acidity. ‘ — The Wine GangOur tasting notes
Pale and clear with a fresh, grassy and vivacious nose. The wine is delicate, flinty, crisp and full bodied—it is also rich and deliciously balanced. Exactly what you would expect from a really good Sancerre. Ideal by itself or with most cheeses—Chèvre especially—and seafood. The partner 'made in heaven' for Dover sole.Wine data
