Producer: Domaine Jean Fournier

Domaine Jean Fournier dates back to the reign of Louis 13th in the early 17th century, making it one of the oldest properties in Marsannay. Today the Domaines 16 hectares are managed by the dynamic young Laurent Fournier, son of Jean, who crafts wines with integrity in a non-interventionist style. He has converted the vineyards to organic agriculture and has been Ecocert certified since 2008. Old vines can be found throughout his vineyards, contributing to the immense purity and finesse Fourniers wines are known for.

Representing only 6% of the vineyard area in Burgundy, this wine offers a wonderful opportunity to discover Aligot, a grape variety that is now finding its place among the finest tables.
Originating from a terroir defined by a scree slope and an ancient riverbed, this cuve boasts a minerality that perfectly complements its fruity aromas. Following the principles of organic farming, the ambition of this cuve is not expressed through high yields, but rather through the expression of its terroir. The aim is to create wines built for aging and destined for fine dining.
As its terroir suggests, this is a mineral and floral wine that captivates the senses. Here, freshness reigns supreme, accompanied by citrus aromas that coat the palate. Open this wine as an aperitif or pair it with seafood if you wish, but be aware that it is also designed for aging for a few years which will give it greater structure.
