Domaine Fournillon Bourgogne Blanc ‘Cuvee de l’Empereur’ 2022

12.5% abv

Vol- 75cl

An exquisite white wine “Cuvee de L’Empereur” Chardonnay Vieilles Vignes is made from Chardonnay grapes from old vines grown on the sandy soils of the vineyard “La Vigne de l’Empereur” (“Emperor’s Vine”), ungrafted and over 200 years old.

Due to the high sand content that this vineyard was able to withstand the invasion of phylloxera, which was raging in Burgundy at that time, destroying vine after vine.

From the harvest from this unique vineyard of 41 acres, only 25-30 hectoliters of wine are produced annually. Harvesting is carried out when the berries reach optimum ripeness. Fermentation takes place in steel tank with 30% of the wine ageing in new oak barrels. Rich and conentrated with refereshing acidity.

Good stock

Based in the tiny village of Bernouil, just north-east of Chablis, this small family-owned domaine bottle less than 10% of their production so remain relatively unknown. The wines are splendidly typical of the region - crisp and mineral but with an underlying generosity of palate, making them a wonderful yet restrained partner for food. Value such as this is relatively unheard of in Burgundy nowadays.
