90/100 – ‘This regal wine offers an effusive nose of ripe kumquat, Bermuda grass trimmings, river moss, lime skin, and summertime forest floor. That palate shows very impressive minerality and structure slowly revealing wild citrus fruit and wet stones.’

90 points / Silky in texture, showing nuances of gooseberry, ground ginger and lemon zest, this white is refreshing and fueled by electric acidity. Mineral accents linger on the well-defined finish. Drink now through 2026.

91 / The extra richness of a Pouilly Fumé is very apparent in this wine. Its ripe white fruits are tense, tangy while also full bodied and, even after three years, still very young. That bold fruitiness needs to soften further, so drink from 2019.

91 / This is the top cuvée produced from the Fournier’s Pouilly-Fumé vines. It is rich while crisp, showing fine acidity and a mineral texture. The green fruits cut through the zesty texture of the wine giving concentration and depth of flavor. Drink this serious wine now.

August 17 Silex 2015

92 points / This comes from a six-acre vineyard of 30-year-old vines. It is steely and taut with an almost flinty character. As a contrast, the young fruit is crisp, full of citrus and green plum fruits. It is a ripe wine that has a few more months to be at its best. Wait until 2018.

December 16 Silex 2014

91 points  / Grown on flinty soil, this strongly mineral-driven wine is structured, tense with acidity and white stone-fruit flavors. The initial crispness opens out into a concentrated, textured wine that will need to age further. Drink from late 2017. 

December 16 Les Deux Cailloux 2015

90 points / Like so many wines from the Pouilly Fumé appellation, this wine is very young at this stage. It shows pepper and only the beginnings of what will be intense white fruits, good acidity and rich texture. Drink from 2018.

December 16 Grande Cuvée 2013

92 points / Fournier’s top Sancerre wine is released with just that extra bit of maturity, giving it extra depth and richness, and turning the initial fruitiness into something more serious. At three years old, the wine is ripe, still with plenty of fruit while also developing a smoky, flinty character. Drink now.
