STORY BEHIND THE WINE

For the Savennières appellation, Château de Chamboureau is a historic domaine since it was founded over 400 years ago. In 2007, this 18 hectare vineyard was bought by a local businessman, Philip Fournier. Together with Domaine Jo Pithon, it is part of Domaine FL. Comprising several really wonderful parcels on fully south-facing hillside slopes, the vineyard is farmed organically.

*”Moelleux” applies to sweet wines which contain less natural residual sugar than sticky wines.
