Olivier Foucher Description

  • Founded in 1992, Domaine Olivier Foucher is known for their Sancerre. Their parcel of the Silex terroir with its flint minerality and smoky notes makes for an utterly distinctive wine
  • Grape Varietal: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
  • Rregion: Sancerre, Loire Valley, France
  • Terroir: 2.47 acres (1 hectare) of 25-year-old vines and a yield of 3.70 tons/acre (50hL/hectare). Since 2019, Mr. Olivier Foucher has chosen to vinify this special Silex (flint) soil separately to make a single-plot cuvée (parcellaire). The Silex terroir brings a lot of minerality into the wine
  • Vinification: As a smaller yield, the wine is vinified in thermoregulated stainless steel vats, then a long aging in vats (about 6/7 months)
  • Tasting Notes: Nose is fresh with minerality, flint and smoky notes as well as white flowers but also yellow fruits: peach & ripe mango. The attack is fresh with a beautiful aromatic return on the minerality but also the floral notes and the notes of foliage. Aromas of white fruits complete the whole. The structure is supple with a beautiful bitterness that brings length
  • Food Pairing: This is an exceptional seafood wine — think oysters, scallops, smoked trout, shellfish — but it is also perfect for a salad of fresh greens with apples, goat cheese and walnuts
  • Production: 6,000 bottles
  • Serving Temperature: 46-50°F (8-10°C)
  • Aging Potential: 5 years
