The wine
Fournier village Marsannay red draws on several parcels for a wine of balance and charm. A fine introduction to the domaine Pinot Noir.
The wine is fragrant and supple. Red cherry and raspberry lead, edged with violet and a touch of spice, over fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. Fresh, pure, and moreish.
A versatile red for many tables. Serve with roast poultry, pork, charcuterie, and soft cheeses. A gentle chill suits it well.
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.
