Domaine Gerard Fiou - Le Grand Roc | Sancerre
White wine | France, LOIRE | 2022
This wine boasts intense aromas of flint and vanilla, complemented by richer notes from its wood aging. It is both harmonious and concentrated. On the palate, the powerful roundness from the oak harmonizes with the lively, playful character of Sauvignon Blanc. The result is a fresh wine with a rich yet delicate flavor, perfectly balanced and poised for further aging.

Vinification
This special cuvée comes from an optimally south/southwest-facing vineyard with 60-year-old vines. What makes this cuvée unique is the aging process, which takes place partly in cement and stainless steel tanks, and partly in new oak barrels. The wine matures for 10 months on its lees, with regular manual intervention.
