Maison Foucher 'Le Mont' Sauvignon Blanc 2024 Sancerre, France (Half Glass)

Founded in 1921 as a 'Petit Négociant,' Maison Foucher operates from the village of Aligny-Cosne with a mission to craft classic Loire Valley expressions at exceptional values. Their 'Le Mont' cuvée is sourced from prestigious parcels around Monts Damnés, perhaps Sancerre's most famous limestone slope, where the chalky soils impart the mineral backbone this appellation is celebrated for.
