Domaine FL, located in Rochefort-sur-Loire, was founded in 2006 by Philip Fournier, honoring both his parents’ names: Fournier and Longchamps. In 2009, his son Julien takes over and obtains organic certification - the domaine now spans 60 hectares on several appellations, including Savennières (30 hectares), Roche-aux-Moines, Anjou Blanc, Anjou Villages, Coteaux du Layon, Chaume 1er Cru, and Quarts de Chaume Grand Cru. The estate has now begun its biodynamic transition.
