The winemaker

The Fournier Longchamps family owns this 34-hectare wine estate located in the Loire Valley in the Anjou region. Founded by Philip Fournier in 2007 and managed since then by his son Julien Fournier, it extends over two communes: Rochefort sur Loire and Savennières and includes parcels in seven appellations.

The estate


The vineyard is made up of vines from two estates, Château de Chamboureau and Jo Pithon, acquired in 2006 and 2007 by the family. Philip Fournier made the choice to name the estate after his parents' names.

The property benefits from a dominant position and a sunny, mild climate. The soils are made up of clay and schist. The grape varieties are divided between only two grape varieties, a white and a red, with a strong dominance of white. Indeed, the emblematic grape variety of Anjou, the Chenin Blanc, is king on the estate and allows the elaboration of white wines of great quality. We find in the range of the domain FL sweet white wines, dry white wines and sweet white wines. The Cabernet Franc makes up the rest of the vineyard and allows the production of red wines. The wines of the property express the great variety of terroirs on which the vineyard is planted.

The estate began its conversion to organic farming in 2009. Since 2014, some parcels are being farmed according to biodynamic principles.

Cuvées parcellaires, deliberately low yields, everything is done to promote the purest expression of the characteristics of these exceptional terroirs and to obtain grapes of the highest quality, fully ripe and concentrating the sugars. The grapes are harvested by hand and the facilities have been improved to offer today an exceptional working tool with an ultra modern winery, a vat house, a state of the art thermo-regulation system and a cellar housing oak barrels.

The wines


The estate produces wines in the Anjou Villages, Anjou Blanc, Savennières Roche aux moines, Savennières, Quarts de Chaume Grand Cru, Coteaux du Layon Premier Cru Chaume and Coteaux du Layon appellations.

J'adore is a sparkling rosé wine cuvée. It is aged for two years on laths using traditional methods. It is a complex brut wine with great freshness offering aromas of strawberries and red fruits. The attack in mouth is frank, but moderate thanks to the fine bubbles. It is perfect to accompany creamy desserts or puff pastries with Provencal flavors.

Roche aux Moines vintage 2012 is a white wine in the Savenières Roche aux moines appellation. The nose is fruity with aromas of vine peach, pineapple and honey. The mouth is mineral and elegant with surprising nuances of old rum. It is an easy to match wine, which is a wonderful accompaniment to roasted meats such as fish or seafood, but also to goat cheese or fruity desserts.

Savennières vintage 2019 is a powerful white wine that leaves plenty of room for fruit. The nose offers citrus aromas with notes of white flowers. It is best enjoyed with a filleted fish, a shellfish dish or a mushroom omelet.
