Ferme de la Sansonnière, 'Les Fouchardes' 2021 Mystery Pack
Place: Loire Valley, France
Grape: Chenin Blanc
Vibe: Hen's Teeth
Feeling incredibly lucky to say that, thanks to the tiny UK allocations of the 2021 single-site releases, all, yes, all, 11 bottles have landed in our palms. So, what’s the fairest way to share these ridiculously limited wines? Easy: we’ve bundled them into packs at genuinely fair prices to make sure they go to true lovers of Chenin.
Each pack includes one bottle of the single-site Sansonnière, plus a mystery Chenin handpicked by us. That means you get your Sansonnière (yay), you support your friendly neighbourhood wine shop (yay), and maybe even discover a new favourite producer (double yay). Everyone wins. Way better than jacking up the price by 500% so only millionaires can get a look in.
Les Fouchardes is the special kind of vineyard you hear about but rarely taste, a proper treasure where tracking down the bottles is quite the task. Thankfully, we've done the lord's work for you. Old vines planted back in 1970 crank out a wine that’s dense and smooth, stitched together with plush fruit and a mineral thread running right throughout. Aged for two years in barrel before bottling, because good things take time. ABV: 13.5%
This pack includes 1 x 'Les Vieilles Vignes des Blanderies' 2021 and 1 x Mystery Chenin
