Benoit\u003cbr\u003eand Paul Fouassier, cousins at the head of the estate today, are the 10th generation of\u003cbr\u003eFouassier to have worked the estate's vines since 1742. The Fouassier family pioneered\u003cbr\u003evinification by lieu-dit in the early 1980s. Since then, their work has focused on selecting the\u003cbr\u003ebest parcels to express in the bottle the taste of the terroir on which the vines flourish. All work\u003cbr\u003eis carried out as naturally as possible, which is why the estate turned to organic and\u003cbr\u003ebiodynamic farming over 15 years ago.\u003cbr\u003eSur Les Forts comes from a 4.45 hectare vineyard in the heart of Sancerre. Vines with an\u003cbr\u003eaverage age of 25 years are grown in soils with limestone from Buzançais and limestone \"lités\u003cbr\u003esupérieurs\" on lower \"Kimmeridgien\". The vineyard is cultivated using organic and biodynamic\u003cbr\u003emethods.\u003cbr\u003e100% Sauvignon Blanc, grapes go through pneumatic pressing and undergo spontaneous\u003cbr\u003efermentation with native yeast. The wine is aged for one year on the lees in stainless-steel\u003cbr\u003etanks. Work in the cellar is based on the lunar calendar.\u003cbr\u003eT A S T I N G N O T E S\u003cbr\u003eExotic nose with notes of mango, honey and spices.
