Reviews and Ratings

Château De Fontaine-Audon 2016 is produced with 100% Sauvignon Blanc wine grapes. This is a medium-bodied mouth-watering white with white grapefruit pith, gooseberry, and stony flavours and really does need food like grilled shellfish or rich pasta dishes with cream sauces. Château de Fontaine-Audon is one of only four châteaux in Sancerre. The 2016 Sancerre Fontaine-Audon is produced from silex terroirs with elevage in stainless steel tank. It offers a beautiful sense of minerality to go with clean, crisp notes of citrus fruits. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
