Fosse-Sèche : Panthalassa 2020

The singularity of a white wine from France made from botrytised Chenin Blanc and vinified as a dry white

The estate

Founded between the years 800 and 1000 by Benedictine monks, Fosse-Sèche was owned by the Church for several centuries. A passionate advocate of wine and ecology, Guillaume Pire settled at the estate in 1998, with the ambition of crafting distinctive wines that authentically express their native terroirs. Guillaume was joined in 2010 by his twin brother Adrien.

Fosse-Sèche looks after a 15-hectare vineyard with a distinctive geology, farmed organically and biodynamically. Made up of flint stones and iron oxide, these soils also benefit from a cool, windy exposure. Together with their wives, Guillaume and Adrien Pire are strongly committed to an environmentally respectful approach. Thus, one third of the land is devoted to growing vines, while the remaining two thirds are dedicated to preserving biodiversity and nature. As a result, 30 hectares are entirely given over to the development of ecosystems.

Château de Fosse-Sèche is renowned for its wines of unique personality, which harmoniously combine precision, purity and power.
