Fournier Sancerre Les Bouffants 2020 750 ML

Our Bouffants single vineyard is located on one of the best ‘Caillottes’ terroirs of the Sancerre appellation. It is a south facing, gentle slope, made of clay soil covered with small white limestone stones that reflect the sun’s rays on the grapes and thus hasten the grape maturity.nnOur Les Bouffants vineyard is harvested with care, at perfect maturity. The extraction of the juices is done at low pressure before the cold storage on it’s fine lees for 6 to 8 days prior to the start of the fermentation. The juices are fermented at low temperatures and then aged on their fine lees for 10-12 months with a weekly batonnage to reveal all the richness and the complexity of this beautiful vineyard.nn
