Producer Information: Vignobles Fournier

Vignobles Fournier, rooted in the heart of Bordeaux’s Right Bank, traces its origins to the early 20th century when the Fournier family began cultivating vines in Saint-Émilion and its surrounding appellations. Their approach centers on sustainable viticulture and meticulous parcel selection, reflecting a deep respect for the diverse terroirs of Bordeaux, particularly those with clay-limestone soils that impart structure and finesse to their wines. Beyond their flagship Saint-Émilion Grand Cru offerings, Vignobles Fournier also produces expressive Merlot-driven cuvées from Montagne-Saint-Émilion and supple Cabernet Franc blends from Lussac-Saint-Émilion, each crafted to highlight the unique microclimates of these satellite villages. Their portfolio extends into limited-production rosés and crisp white Bordeaux blends that showcase Sauvignon Blanc’s aromatic vibrancy alongside Sémillon’s texture, all unified by a philosophy prioritizing balance and authenticity over intervention.
