2020 Fournier Les Belles Vignes: Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre
The 2020 Fournier Père & Fils Les Belles Vignes is a classic white Sancerre from the Loire Valley. Made from Sauvignon Blanc, this wine combines the grape’s fresh character with the minerality and elegance for which Sancerre is known.
The 2020 vintage has now been aging in the bottle for several years. This gives the fresh citrus fruit more depth and brings out softer, more complex aromas. An interesting choice for those who prefer to drink Sancerre when it has developed a bit more.
Sancerre evokes images of the Loire, limestone-rich slopes, and vibrant Sauvignon Blanc. Les Belles Vignes from Fournier Père & Fils brings that recognizable freshness to the glass. The 2020 has had some time to develop in the bottle, which may make the citrus and white fruit notes come across as slightly softer. It’s a wine perfect for a relaxed aperitif, but even better paired with goat cheese, oysters, or a simply prepared fish dish.

Serving & foodpairing
