Sancerre Rose Cuvee Les Belles Vignes Fournier 2022
Our cuvée ‘Les Belles Vignes’ Rosé comes from Pinot Noir vines aged between 10 to 30 years and planted on the Terres Blanches terroir. The Pinot Noir grows naturally on the rolling Sancerre hills and it easily reaches the expected ‘crunchy and juicy’ maturity level. The powerful and complex Terres Blanches terroir is ideally associated with the Pinot Noir varietal, making ‘Les Belles Vignes’ a high level ‘noble’ rosé.

More about this product
Domaine Fournier
Founded in 1955 by a fifth-generation winemaker, Domaine Fournier Père et Fils started production with its own 4-hectare vineyards in Sanser and the Central Loire Valley. The Sancerre vineyards include the best places in the villages of Verdigny, Sancerre, Bué and Sury-en-Vaux. In 2015 founder Claude sells the mansion to the de Villeboa family, which continues the 60-year tradition. Joost de Willebois gradually entered winemaking, which for him began as a side interest, but gradually turned from a hobby into a main activity and heritage. Today, Domaine Fournier Père et Fils produces 24 wines, including the world-famous Fournier Sancerre ‘Les Belles Vignes’. Domaine Fournier Père et Fils is a benchmark for Sancerre, and the beautiful letter F on the label is a symbol of finesse, quality and elegance.

Loire Valley
This is a long and diverse region in western France, adjacent to the Loire River, which produces interesting wines - from charming and fruity to rich and long-lasting. A representative of the red varieties here is Cabernet Franc and the wines from Bougainville and Chinon are excellent, but in fact the white varieties are the specifics of the Loire. The most common are Chenin Blanc (Vouvray), Melon de Bourgogne (Muscadet) and Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre, Pouilly Fumé). Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé have come out of the shadows of their region and can be said to be well known around the world - the former with the typical mineral-herbal character of the wines, and the latter with the greater complexity of the body and aroma due to contact with oak, although the variety is the same - Sauvignon Blanc.

Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is the dominant red wine grape of Burgundy, a challenge for every single vine grower and wine producer. It can be found in Germany (as Spätburgunder), Italy (Pino Nero), Chile, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. The wines show a specific aroma of red berries and cherry depending on the vinification method employed - from fresh red cherries in lighter wines to stewed black cherries in weightier examples, many of them also showing hints of earthy flavours.
