  • Fournier Sancerre “Silex” – The ‘Silex’ terroir produces the most sought-after Sancerre thanks to their elegance and their intense minerality. Located alongside the Loire river, it is a very ‘early-ripening’ soil. The flint stones accumulate heat from the sun during the day and radiate at night which accelerate the maturity of the grapes.
  • Fournier Sancerre “Caillottes” – The ‘Caillottes’ soil is made of small limestone pebbles mixed with clay and dating from the Kimmeridgian era (Oxfordian Jurassic). The white pebble stones now cover most of the vineyard ground, hastening the grapes maturity through the reflection of the sunlight into the vines . This Terroir is known for its aromatic intensity and airy wines.
  • Fournier Sancerre “Terres Blanches” – Terres Blanches is a ‘late-ripening’ terroir made of thick clay layers entertwined with flat, white limestone stones. This terroir is rich in fossils and white stones that have the particularity of whitening while drying in the sun. The Terres Blanches terroir gives a strong aromatic concentration, tension and ageing potential to the wines.

Cheers to a new era of Fournier Sancerre!!!
