Domaine de la Furonnière Description
Domaine de la Furonnière is a family winery, located just east of Nantes. Passing down techniques from grandfather, to father, to son, and now led by vigneron Daniel Bonneau, the estate works each vintage to bring out the taste of the Loire in every sip, producing the purest expression of the terroir. Located about 15 km from the Loire river and because it so close to the ocean, the vineyards (30 hectares, average age of 50 years old) benefit from a unique cooling microclimate. The terroir is composed of fossilized shells (giving minerality in the wines), quartz and silex pebbles.
This is Chardonnay from the Muscadet zone right where the Loire river meets the Atlantic ocean! Bright, lean, intense focus and acid driven. Expect no oak, no butter and no creaminess. If you like Muscadet, Sauvignon Blanc or Blanc de Blands Champagnes this is right up your alley. Frankly it is an Acid Hound's Chardonnay. You know who you are!
Food Pairings: Use as an apertif, shellfish, oysters, clams, or frnakly anything from the ocean
