Located in Saumur in the Loire Valley, Château de Fosse-Sèche farms biodynamic vineyards planted on limestone soils known locally as tuffeau. Laurasie is produced from Cabernet Franc grown on hillside parcels that provide both structure and freshness. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts followed by ageing in French oak barrels to develop complexity while preserving fruit purity. The balanced 2016 vintage delivered both ripeness and precision. Compared with Éolithe, Laurasie shows slightly more immediate fruit expression, combining red berry fruit, floral notes and subtle spice with fine tannins and mineral backbone. https://fossasicca.com/
