Jean-Michel and Pierre Fouassier(12 August 2008)
Given that the Loire is towards the limits of successful grape growing and that the climate can be decidedly variable, I’m always surprised and impressed that so many Loire producers are either organic or biodynamic or a mix of the two.
After our visit to the Gralls we stumbled upon one the latest organic/biodynamic converts: Domaine Fouassier, who have just opened a smart and stylish new shop in the centre of Sancerre. I gather that they are starting to convert some 18 of their 50 hectares. Jean-Michel Fouassier was in charge of the shop so we took the opportunity to quickly taste a number of the Fouassier wines.
