Domaine Jean Fournier Marsannay Rouge Clos du Roy 2023
£41.45
The wine
Clos du Roy is among Marsannay most prized parcels, and Fournier old vines here give his most complete red. The domaine at its most serious.
The wine is deep and refined. Layers of black cherry, plum, and spice sit over a firm, elegant structure, with earthy, mineral detail beneath. Powerful yet poised, the finish is long.
A wine for special tables. Serve with roast beef, venison, and mature cheeses. Best given time to open, or a few years in the cellar.
The producer
Domaine Jean Fournier
View all Domaine Jean Fournier winesIn Marsannay, at the northern gateway to the Côte de Nuits, Domaine Jean Fournier works some of Burgundy most historic parcels. Now led by Laurent Fournier, the family has farmed here since the seventeenth century. Few domaines can claim such deep roots in the appellation.
Fournier is a champion of two things often overlooked: Marsannay and the Aligoté grape. His organic and biodynamic vineyards are treated with real care, and his cellar work is precise and low in intervention. The aim is transparency, letting each terroir sing without distortion.
The wines reward attention. His Aligotés redefine what the grape can achieve, while his Marsannay reds trace the subtle differences between neighbouring climats with quiet skill. Freshness and detail run through the whole range.
To discover Jean Fournier is to discover Marsannay real potential. Serious, characterful, and superb value for the quality, these are wines for those who love Burgundy finer print.
