Think you know what Sancerre is all about? Well join importer Olivier Daubresse this Saturday and prepare to have your horizons expanded! Because the wines of Benoit et Mathieu Fleuriet not only showcase a fine range of Sauvignon Blanc styles, but also two takes on Sancerre Rouge (100% Pinot Noir). All are of exceptional quality and really have to be tasted to be appreciated. Join Olvier and us from noon-4pm on Saturday to try:
Fleuriet Renaissance Sancerre La Magie des Caillotes 2017 - From the Fleuriet’s second estate (but NOT a second wine), this is all about how Sauvignon Blanc expresses purity and grace when grown on chalk and marl soils and raised entirely in concrete tank.
Dom Bernard Fleuriet Sancerre Cote De Marloup 2014 - From the Fleuriet home estate, this stunning, focused, and intense Sauvignon spends 10-12 months in concrete egg to allow the minerality of silex, Kimmeridgian limestone, and white chalk soils to shine through.
Fleuriet Renaissance Sancerre Les Grandes Marnes 2015 - Showcases how a touch of silex and fantastically skilled use of French oak elevates the mineral, flinty, elements of Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc without masking the beautiful fruit one bit.
Fleuriet Renaissance Sancerre Pur Jus 2015 - Old vines, chalk/marl soils, fermentation in concrete egg, and zero added sulfur at any point of winemaking come together in this “natural wine” to create amazing savory complexity and depth.
Fleuriet Renaissance Sancerre La Magie des Caillotes Rouge 2016 - Red Sancerre? You bet! This 100% Pinot Noir shines with lovely fruit and an elegant, easygoing texture that’s perfect for quaffing with salmon, tuna, duck, or pretty much anything Pinot-friendly.
Dom Bernard Fleuriet Sancerre Rouge Anthocyanes 2015 - A profoundly great wine, this will transform your understanding of what Sancerre Rouge can be. Well deserving of its 94 point rating from Wine Enthusiast, a wine to drink or age for year.
We’ll have some Sancerre-friendly bites from the cheese case out to sample with the wines and Olivier will be ready to share all the details of how this amazing Domaine creates such stunning Sancerre. Be aware that several of these wines are very limited, so come early and pick your favorites!
