Domaine FL Founier-Longchamps
The Fournier-Longchamps family owns today 60 hectares with almost 30 hectares of Chenin Blanc on Savennières, all certified Biodynamic.
The vineyards are managed by Ludovic Pierrot, and the wines made by the Burgundy specialist Kyriakos Kynigopoulos.
The wines are fermented in stainless steel tanks and oak vats with strict temperature control, with 10-15% renewed every year. Then matured on the lees without malolactic fermentation in the Chenin Blanc to preserve natural acidity and allow for long-term aging in bottle
The multiple cuvées of the estate are differentiated by the proportion of schist soil in the vineyards, with the more mineral wines being sold as the top range cuvee and having the longest ageing.
