Foucher Lebrun is a third generation operation that has been in wine business for over a century, founded in 1921 by the LeBrun-Foucher family. Besides the excellent quality of the vineyards and the organically grown fruit they select, the secret weapon here is that the wines and cuvees are selected by Jean Mounard a very well known former “Fine + Rare” wine merchant from Paris whose palate was formed by years of tasting and selling such wines as DRC, Mouton-Rothchild and Leflaive.
They make a number of wines both red and white — their Touraine Sauvignon Blanc is a great Sancerre alternative, though nothing in my mind compares to their flagship bottling, the Le Mont Sancerre. The grapes for the Sancerre are sourced from the villages of Sancerre, Chavignol (near Mont Damnés) and d’Amigny, an ideal location for aromatic, fresh and bright fruit. Planted on wonderful clay-limestone soil, this Sancerre offers abundance of depth and is expertly balanced. It’s a pleasure now and will be for the next decade plus.

“A tasty mix of crisp apple and warm butter and vanilla flavors highlight this medium-bodied and silky textured wine from one of Anderson Valley’s well-established producers. Pippin apple and lemon notes complement the buttery richness.” – Jim Gordon
It may be hard to believe, but in a lineup of over a dozen fantastic wines, the Pinot making the biggest splash out of the iconic Elk Cove Estate is none other than their Pinot Blanc. Ever since their 2017 vintage received Top 5 Wine of the Year recognition, the wine has been given a 92-point score or higher. That’s well-deserved for one of Oregon’s best and most unheralded white wines. So bright and refreshing, no doubt thanks to it being a product of 100% stainless steel. But in addition to the stony minerality, it also boasts great flavors of green apple, melon and white peach. The newly released 2021 is a particular standout.

“A pure but subtle notion of freshly cut Golden Delicious suggests juiciness, creaminess and freshness in equal measure. The palate of this wine homes in on rounded ripeness on a smooth, gently textured, creamy palate. This wine is resonant but sinuous, concentrated and juicy with a lasting, apple-flavored finish.”
It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to offer you one of our most anticipated Chardonnays year in and year out. The 2019 came and went, but with lower yields, not much made it over to the states. This year, I made sure we could get our hands on some. This is an unadulterated version of Chardonnay, filled with mineral-laced green-apple/Asian pear aromas and flavors. Bracing acidity provides a super long finish and wonderful food-friendliness. This is a great White Burg. Get it while it lasts!
