Domaine Fouassier «Les Chasseignes» 2023 – Sancerre

(biodynamic) The wine has a lemon yellow color of medium intensity. The nose is pure, fruity and juicy. It expresses the gourmand aromas of kiwi, tangy apricot, gooseberries, passion fruit and ripe citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit), as well as a tangy touch of green apple, a limestone minerality and an airy floral fragrance (hawthorn, white lilac in the background). The palate is juicy and fruity, fresh and slender. The attack opens with notes of grapefruit and its bitter touch, as well as a tangy frame of green apple and fresh lemon. Then, we smell the notes of kiwi, gooseberries and tangy apricot. The finish is quite persistent, with a trace of grapefruit bitterness and a racy minerality (limestone). Good balance between salivating acidity, a pleasant bitterness and the juiciness of stone fruits.
