High in the Loire Valley's Menetou-Salon region, Olivier Foucher tends to 25 acres of pristine vineyard land in the hillside commune of Morogues. Since establishing his domaine in 1992, he has focused on crafting sophisticated yet supremely approachable wines from Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. His wines strike a remarkable balance - offering layered complexity while remaining irresistibly enjoyable to drink.
Light lemon in color, the wine has a delicate floral scent, with a touch of lime zest and tangerine on the nose. The palate is full of white-fleshed fruits — particularly peach and pear — that blend with more exotic, softer notes of grapefruit and papaya. Wave after wave of mouth-puckering acidity and a mineral-packed finish will keep you coming back for more! Perhaps the most impressive feature of the wine is its impeccable balance of flavor intensity, structural tension, and length: everything is where it should be, making this Sauvignon Blanc almost too easy to drink.
