If you love the crisp, racy, mineral focus of great Sancerre but not the new high prices you will absolutely LOVE this wine! It is our best selling Sauvignon Blanc ever, and the only complaint is that there is not enough of this available!
For sheer quality for the money we are giving this a whopping 98 points on our wine value scale - well deserved for once again way over acheiving on this value priced “baby” Sancerre! Stock up now for spring and summer and don’t miss out! Cheers, Chris
Foucher’s Petit Mont (little hill) is an affordable Sancerre alternative that offers much of the classic mineral laden focus and citrus intensity of many Sancerres selling for twice the price and more. This is a Cree Wine Co "go to" house wine sourced from organic certified grapes grown on the Touraine border, this lip smacking cuvee is the baby brother to Foucher’s Sancerre Le Mont. I have worked with this winery for years precisely because of the value all of their wines represent.
It is a third generation operation that has been in the biz for over a hundred years, founded in 1921 by the LeBrun-Foucher family. Besides the quality of the vineyards and the organically grown fruit they select, the secret weapon here is that the wines and cuvees are selected by Jean Mounard (pictured above), a former "Fine + Rare" wine merchant from Paris whose palate was formed by years of tasting and selling such wines as DRC, Mouton-Rothchild and Leflaive. His palate helps them totally overachieve in every category, with the result is we all get to enjoy classically crafted wines for a fraction of the price of their counterparts.
Simply put, if you aren't buying and drinking this wine all year long you are missing out! Stock up now for Holiday parties and more! Cheers - Chris Cree MW, Cree Wine Company
Cool, crisp, clean and mineral this beautiful wine from the Fouher winery once again absolutely kills it for value! If you love Sancerre but not the price, this is your spring/summer go to wine.
It has received our highest ever value score to daye, and well deserved at just $10 by the case.
Stock up now before it's gone.
