Vinification Details

  • Our vineyards receive the utmost attention throughout the year in respect of nature. The plots are harvested with great care, at perfect maturity, so that each terroir can be revealed. After an extraction at low pressure, the juices ferment for 3-4 weeks at a controlled temperature. An ageing on fine lees as well as a very light filtration allow us to offer you the best of Sancerre's terroirs!

History

  • Nestled in the heart of the Sancerre appellation, the Domaine Fournier Père et Fils winery goes back generations of winemakers since 1926. Carefully selected from vineyards spread over the 3 terroirs of the appellation, the Sancerre Finest delights with its precision and its regularity. Made with great care and attention to detail, Sancerre Finest represents the best alliance of the terroirs.

Regional Information

  • International capital of Sauvignon Blanc, Sancerre can date its vinous history back to the 6th century and is the most prestigious and renowned appellation of the Loire. Its inimitable style is born from the magic alliance of this varietal and the 3 unique soils of the appellation: flint, pebbly limestone and Kimmeridgian marl.

Enjoyable but wait for it to be on offer.

A Tesco Customer25th February 2021

Light and crisp with a complexity that doesn’t initially reveal itself. Give it a longer finish on the palate and it blossoms with fragrance and a touch of elderflower. Not sure it justifies it’s hefty price tag but if your in the privileged position to not think twice then we’ll worth it.

Excellent example of Sancerre

4 stars

A Tesco Customer16th January 2021

Having rediscovered the Loire after a flirtation with NZ SauvBlancs, I've no problem paying this price for a wine of this quality. As I type, my wife and I are I'm half way down a bottle with some smoked salmon - a match made in heaven. Four stars rather than five because Sancerre rarely scores highly in the value for money department, and for a Loire, Tesco's LaCheteau Touraine is also excellent at a more 'quaffable' price.

Very good quality Sancerre wine

5 stars

A Tesco Customer2nd November 2020

Bought 6 bottles of the wine in-store. Very happy of this wine. Great fruitiness, nice crispiness. Enjoyed very much the quality of this wine. Maybe the best Sancerre I have ever tasted.

Will buy again.

Stunning

A Tesco Customer22nd June 2016

One of the best whites I have tasted. I like a light, not oaky white - some may not like that but for me it is absolutely perfect. A clean, pure wine - no hint of headache the next day if one too many glasses drunk!

Delicious

I like the cool fresh fruity taste of this wine with smoked salmon &horseradish

Truly Finest Sancerre

5 stars

A Tesco Customer31st August 2015

A superb classical Sancerre and a refreshing conterpoint to New Zealand Sauvignon. The colour is pale lemon-green, with a complex nose of candied and ripe citrus fruit and white flowers. The palate is well-rounded and precise, with keen acidity (this is Sancerre after all) but with the gooseberry and lemon fruits coming to the fore. Overall, this is a well-poised and elegant Sancerre, which reminds us that France can still compete in the Sauvignon Blanc stakes. I tasted this alongside Malaysian Chicken Curry which worked reasonably well, but I think the supreme match would be simple baked white fish. Fantastique!

Excellent

5 stars

A Tesco Customer13th March 2015

I'm surprised by the negativity from some other reviewers. I found this to be exactly what it should be - full of wonderful fruit, with 'just right' minerality. This is the subtle end of the Sauvignon Blanc spectrum - a million miles from the brash New World versions - but quite delightful in its Old World charm. I would definitely recommend it.

Good quality at a good price

4 stars

A Tesco Customer12th March 2015

I have come to recognise the Finest range as being solid and reliable, and at a sensible price. This Sancerre just confirms my views!
