Domaine Gerard Fiou Just Fiou Vin de Pays 2023

Florent Bourgeois passionately upholds his family's winemaking legacy at Domaine Gérard Fiou. He meticulously tends to the vineyard and winery, crafting wines that exemplify the estate's commitment to high standards and precision.

Since 2013, Florent has managed Domaine Gérard Fiou, drawing on his family heritage, background, and global winemaking experiences to create expressive and exceptional terroir wines, renowned among Sancerre's finest. The Domaine, spanning 9.8 hectares, is planted with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.

Situated on a flinty hillside with clay-siliceous soil in Saint-Satur, near the Loire River and the peak of Sancerre, this estate benefits from the rare and distinctive flint terroir, making up 20% of Sancerre's terroirs, alongside "terres blanches" (40%) and "caillottes" (40%)

Grape Varietals & Region: Made from selected Sauvignon Blanc grapes from the picturesque Loire Valley, France. Grown on similar flint and limestone soils similar to Sancerre

Taste Profile: This wine shows wonderfully expressive notes of apple, mirabelle plum, pear and peach in the glass. There are also hints of almond and coconut. This crisp white wine is balanced and complex on the palate. The fruit acidity of Fiou Just Fiou is wonderfully rounded and makes this wine wonderfully smooth

Winemaking Process: After the grape harvest, the grapes are transported to the press house as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
