Fournillon Chablis is a classic, refreshing white wine made from 100% Chardonnay, hailing from the Chablis region in northern Burgundy, France. Known for its crisp minerality and bright acidity, this Chablis exemplifies the pure, unoaked expression of Chardonnay that the region is famous for. With its clean and elegant profile, Fournillon Chablis is a beautiful reflection of the terroir, offering a balance of citrus, green apple, and subtle floral notes.

Domaine Fournillon is a family-run winery with deep roots in the Chablis and Auxerrois regions of Burgundy. The estate has been producing wines for several generations, with a strong emphasis on sustainable viticulture and traditional winemaking practices. The family takes great pride in their vineyards, carefully tending to the vines to ensure high-quality fruit that expresses the true character of the Chablis terroir. Their approach to winemaking is focused on minimal intervention, allowing the natural qualities of the Chardonnay grape to shine. Domaine Fournillon’s wines are known for their purity and precision, embodying the essence of Burgundy’s cool-climate Chardonnay.

The vineyards are planted on the region’s famous Kimmeridgian limestone soils, which are rich in fossilised marine shells. These soils impart a distinct minerality and flinty character to the wines, contributing to the unique style of Chablis. The cool climate of the region, combined with these chalky soils, allows the grapes to ripen slowly, preserving high acidity while developing complex flavours. Fournillon Chablis is vinified in stainless steel tanks to maintain its fresh and vibrant profile, avoiding the influence of oak to highlight the purity of the fruit and terroir.

Fournillon Chablis offers aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and white flowers, underscored by subtle notes of wet stone and a hint of salinity. On the palate, it is crisp and lively, with flavours of citrus and orchard fruits, balanced by a pronounced minerality that gives the wine a clean, refreshing finish. The acidity is bright and invigorating, making it a versatile wine for pairing with food.

Fournillon Chablis is a quintessential example of the region’s ability to produce elegant and terroir-driven white wines that can be enjoyed young or aged for additional complexity.

Food pairing suggestion: Smoked trout.
