Get to know: Domaine Fournillon Bourgogne Blanc
A beautifully pure and expressive Burgundy white wine made from Chardonnay in northern Burgundy.
Tasting Note
Domaine Fournillon Bourgogne Blanc is a fresh, elegant Chardonnay that shows the finesse and balance that Burgundy white wine is famous for. Pale lemon in colour, it opens with inviting aromas of green apple, citrus peel, white flowers and a gentle hint of almond. On the palate, this classic Burgundy Chardonnay is crisp and focused, with flavours of lemon zest, ripe pear and subtle stone fruit, supported by a clean mineral backbone. There’s a lovely sense of precision and freshness throughout, finishing dry and refreshing with a delicate, lingering citrus note. It’s a wonderfully balanced white Burgundy that delivers both character and drinkability.
Top food pairings:
- Roast chicken with thyme and lemon
- Grilled sea bass or pan-fried cod
- Soft cheeses such as Brie or Chaource
Kate Says
"This is exactly what I want from an everyday white Burgundy - fresh, elegant and well made. It’s brilliant with simple food, or just a glass on its own when you fancy something a bit classic."
