Chris Cree MW - Value Score: 100 Points

100 Points, Chris Cree Master of Wine - “Crisp, cool, clean and focused, this wine way over delivers for the price! Classic gooseberry, green apple, and citrus tinged Sauvignon Blanc character abounds, dry. pure and refreshing on the palate. Our best selling Sauvignon Blanc ever once again hits it out of the park."

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. If you have bought this in the past you know just how great this wine is, and NOW is the time to restock! If you haven’t experienced it yet you owe it to yourself to get on board.

It’s the perfect party white, great with all kinds of seafood, sushi, shrimp, oysters, mild fish, crudo, ceviche, salads, goat cheese and all on its own on a sunny spring day!

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 Marc Vapereau (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.
