Domaine Fournier Longchamps

Little touch of spicy oak here is a little bit more noticeable than on the other cuvées, but it just adds a little spark of spice and it works well. Precise, focused, fairly light in style but with a little weight on the mid-palate helping it work with food and satisfy in general. Medium length finish. Doesn't quite have the confidence and charisma of the Chamboureau, but is very good.

Fresh pear, fresh green apple and a touch of honey on the nose. Decent weight on the palate, a touch of richness and perhaps a tiny hint of residual sugar that helps counteract the bristling acidity. Medium length, well balanced, classic and focused.


Domaine Fournier Longchamps

Very pale green-gold colour. Daffodil and apple skin, very Chenin nose in its most floral guise. Light-bodied, pretty cutting acidity. Focused, gently saline. Not terribly long, lacks a little weight of fruit, but true to type.
