The Wine: François le Saint is a label from Domaine Fouassier, one of Sancerre’s historic families, making organically and biodynamically farmed wines with a clear sense of place. Sancerre Silex is made from roughly 35-year-old vines grown on clay, flint, and marl soils, native-fermented in stainless steel and raised on the lees with minimal sulfur and no unnecessary extras.
2022 François le Saint Sancerre Silex is a taut, stony expression of Sancerre. It opens with aromas of lemon pith, green fig, and citrus peel, lifted by crushed stone and a faint saline edge. On the palate, it is brisk and finely textured, with bright citrus fruit, vivid acidity, and a mineral finish that stays buzzy, savory, and long.
Pairing: Fresh chèvre, triple cream brie, herbed white beans on toast, smoked trout dip, or a simple plate of olives, salted butter, and french bread.
