Domaine Fournier Longchamps Savennières La Croix Picot

Description A truly superb example of a Loire Valley Chenin Blanc. Philip Fournier and his son Julien continue a winemaking tradition that began in the region more than 800 years ago. Their organically farmed estate sits in an extraordinary location; straddling the Loire Valley across five distinct appellations. The Savennières AOC is situated just south of Angers, the historical capital of Anjou. Its 370-planted acres stretch across southern-exposed slopes on the right bank of the Loire River. Savennières’ shallow soils are comprised of well-drained sandstone schist, volcanic rock (rhyolite) and aeolian sand, which allow for excellent drainage, slight cluster dehydration and  resulting concentrated fruit flavours in the trademark Chenin Blanc. Pair with white meats and Asian cuisine.
