The Fournier family has been making wine in the tiny village of Verdigny in Sancerre for generations. Their estate has grown from 13 acres in 1950 to nearly 75 acres today spanning Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, and Menetou-Salon. These people know the Loire Valley better than just about anyone.
Their ‘Patient Cottat’ label is their way of honoring a famous 19th century Master Goldsmith who fell in love with this region and after tasting this Pinot Noir, it’s easy to understand why he would never want to leave.
