- Domaine FL - The Fournier Longchamps winery or domaine FL is a family estate located on the heights of Rochefort sur Loire, near Béhuard and 25 minutes from Angers. Domaine FL seeks to create precise wines flirting with excellence. Our organic vineyard in the 49 produces only organic wines and a wine whose vines are managed according to the precepts of biodynamics. Our organic wines are unique and reflect the prestigious terroir that borders the Loire River. We therefore offer the purchase of sparkling wine, wine from Savennières, the purchase of wine from Savennières Roches aux Moines, the purchase of wine from Coteaux du Layon, the purchase of wine from Coteaux du Layon 1 st Cru Chaume and the purchase of wine from Quarts de Chaume Grand Cru.

Additional Information
The Domaine FL (Fournier-Longchamps) vineyard sprawls across approximately 34 hectares, straddling both banks of the Loire River, in a region that has been a verdant cradle for grapevines since the 12th century. This fertile ground predominantly nurtures chenin blanc, the time-honored grape variety of Anjou. The grape’s multifaceted nature and its excellent propensity for maturation have invariably accorded it a unique standing.

Exceeded expectations - Outstanding value! Attended the tour with my travelling group (3 in total) and we all really enjoyed ourselves. The host patiently translated to English after French for the bilingual party. The tastings were generous and very knowledgeably explained.
Would highly recommend :) we didn’t expect to buy any wine after but loved it so much we bought 2 bottles to take home to the UK!!
Many thanks 🙏

A perfect short tour of the vineyard - We booked this on the same day that we wanted to go (very unplanned) and whilst not being huge wine drinkers, wanted to experience a vineyard in the Loire valley. We arrived and had a private tour which was full of information and interesting. The whole experience was just perfect.
We sampled 6 wines in total. Some real variation and depth of quality.
Staff couldn't have been any friendlier and knew their stuff! We were made to feel very relaxed and comfortable. Would highly recommend!

Amazing wine tour, fab wines and a beautiful building set in wonderful countryside. - What a great place! Amazing vineyard and building, with a wonderful private tour. Our host was wonderful. Fabulous English and a beautiful young lady, who talked us through the whole wine making process, as we walked through the cask filled cellar, and ended with tasting of the fab wines. Would highly recommend a visit.

Beautiful small vineyard and English tour - This is a small winery, with modern facilities which are stylishly done and provide a lovely setting for a tour and tasting. I called to ensure an English language tour which was organised and hosted by the helpful Marine, who did a great job and was friendly and informative. The tasting happens on the top floor, with beautiful views. We were the only ones on our tout and Marine also gave us some recommendations for interesting places to visit nearby too. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended tour and tasting! - Domaine FL is housed in a beautiful new building with great views over the world wineries. Our host took all the time and showed us around the winery and wine making process and answered all our questions. Afterwards we had the tasting outside on the roof which was great for its views, but mostly for the great wines. Best Savennières wine we tasted!
