Winemaker's Background:

Founded in 1921, Maison Foucher-Lebrun is a third-generation family-run négociant based in Aligny-Cosne, just northeast of Sancerre. Originally started by Paul Lebrun, a cooper by trade, the domaine passed through the hands of his descendants and grew steadily over the decades. In 2009, Jean Mounard, a seasoned wine merchant with deep ties to the fine wine world, joined the family to elevate the quality and global presence of the wines. With strong relationships among Loire growers and a philosophy rooted in authenticity and value, Foucher-Lebrun produces wines that highlight the purity and energy of the region’s terroir.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled at 50–54 °F (10–12 °C). This Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with fresh seafood such as oysters, scallops, or grilled white fish, as well as goat cheese, vegetable dishes, and light Mediterranean fare. It’s also a perfect match for seafood salads or simply enjoyed as an aperitif on a sunny afternoon.

The 2024 Foucher-Lebrun Touraine 'Les Jarriers' Sauvignon is a brilliant example of Loire Valley craftsmanship, delivering freshness, minerality, and vibrant fruit at an outstanding value.
