B509 LA FERME DE LA SANSONNIERE VdF LES FOUCHARDES MONOPOLE 2022 750ml
Among the several plots, Les Fouchardes is a vineyard that can be called a true treasure. Les Fouchardes Monopole is made from Chenin Blanc planted in 1970. Grown on schist-based soils with top layers of clay and sand, it displays a powerful structure and exceptionally refined minerality. These qualities are further enhanced by biodynamic cultivation and the use of perfectly ripe grapes harvested at extremely low yields.
The wines are aged for two years in barrels before bottling. This means it undergoes an aging period one year longer before release than La Lune. However, that does not mean it is ready to be enjoyed immediately. Its true value is revealed only after several more years of bottle aging. If you are fortunate enough to acquire a few bottles, we recommend drinking one first to gauge the optimal drinking window, and then carefully aging the rest.
