"The perfect summer wine—juicy, fruity, and delightfully crisp!"
Fragrant and light, this white wine delights with its liveliness and aromas of rhubarb and exotic fruits. A must-have for aperitifs, but also a pleasure to enjoy any time of year.

About the estate:
Cathy and Daniel Fournié took over this 30-hectare estate in 1998, and it has been certified organic since 2012. As self-taught winemakers, they sought advice from neighboring vintners. They learned quickly and effectively, as evidenced by the regular features of their wines in these pages. Their daughter Mathilde joined them in 2015.

Rated wine (2025 guide) 90/100 Favorite
Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
A bit plump but not unpleasant, Monplaisir is a full-bodied Chardonnay-Viognier blend with notes of rhubarb and a hint of exotic fruit.
About the estate:
Cathy and Daniel Fournié have been running the estate since 1998, and the vineyards have been farmed organically since 2009. The reds possess the flair characteristic of the third terraces of the Lot. A deep respect for the soil—and above all for the fruit’s ripeness—shines through in every bottle. The range is becoming increasingly refined, and even the classic vintages offer a Malbec that is supple and full of character.
