La Garenne comes from one of Sancerre’s oldest winegrowing families. Now led by tenth-generation cousins Benoît and Paul Fouassier, the domaine was an early advocate of bottling Sancerre by individual vineyard. This is a dry, lively Sauvignon Blanc with fresh fruit, a stony mineral edge, and a gently rounded texture from a year on the lees. Pair it with oysters, grilled white fish, or fresh goat cheese.
