Deep in the Corbi?res appellation, in the heart of the esteemed sub-zone of Boutenac, the Laboucari? family of Domaine de Fontsainte has earned a following for their light, crisp ros? of direct-press Grenache Gris. The 2019 edition provides all the euphor...
The grapes for this basic cuvée of Sancerre are sourced from the vineyards in Bué, Vinon and Crézancy. After harvest, fermentation is done in stainless steel cuves at temperatures between 14 and 18 degrees Celsius. As with all the whites at the domaine, this wine sits in contact with the fine lies for a considerable period of time with the racking being done late in the spring following harvest. The first bottling occurs no earlier than July and frequently does not occur until September of the year following harvest.
