About the Wine

“Sancerre is home to some of France's tangiest, most thirst-quenching white wines, made from Sauvignon Blanc.” ~Wine Spectator.

If you’re looking for a Sancerre that stands out from the crowd, 2022 Domaine Gérard Fiou Sancerre Blanc 'Le Grand Roc' is the one to grab. Crafted from old vines rooted in Saint-Satur’s famed flinty soils—a rare gem in the Sancerre region—this wine is a pure expression of its exceptional terroir. Its vibrant minerality, concentrated flavors, and elegant finesse make it a must-have for any lover of Sauvignon Blanc.

At the heart of this brilliance is Florent Bourgeois, a winemaker whose experience reads like a wine lover’s dream. Before taking the reins at Domaine Gérard Fiou in 2013, Florent honed his craft in legendary wine regions across the globe. From California’s Sonoma Valley at Vérité Winery, to Mendoza’s Familia Zuccardi, to New Zealand’s famed Marlborough at Clos Henri, he’s perfected his approach to crafting wines that sing with terroir. And now, back in Sancerre, he’s turning his family’s estate into one of the Loire Valley’s shining stars.

We love Sancerre, and so do some of the most celebrated wine critics in the world, like Robert Parker who described Sancerre as "a beacon of purity and precision,” or Wine Enthusiast who said it is "the epitome of elegant white wines.”

Organically grown on the flinty hillsides of Saint-Satur, on the left bank of the Loire, this wine is a bold expression of its terroir. High-density planting results in intense concentration and vibrant energy, with the mineral-rich soils adding a distinct depth and precision. It's a wine that captures the elegance and power of the Loire in every sip.

Tasting Notes

100% Sauvignon Blanc. This wine reveals flinty aromas and a delicate fruity bouquet, with notes of Sauvignon flowers and fresh vine sap. Its exceptional balance unfolds with finesse and harmony, offering a crisp, refined profile. Perfectly paired with roasted St-Pierre with fennel, sole fillets with chanterelle mushrooms and garlic cream, or a rich farmer chicken with truffles, this wine enhances every dish with its elegance and depth.
