Marsannay Cuvee Saint Urbain Domaine Jean Fournier is an unimaginably delicious and ethereal Burgundy. Its rich red fruit, floral character and lacy tannins won us over from the very first sip without effort!
Domaine Jean Fournier is one of the oldest estates in Marsannay, with a history dating back to the 17th century. The winery was founded in 1962 by Jean Fournier and is currently run by his son, Laurent. Since 2008, their 16 hectares have been cultivated organically and Laurent's logic boils down to as little intervention as possible. For this very reason, his wines are famous for their expressiveness and purity. Within their vineyards, there are several old vines that are responsible for some of their best wines. One of them is Marsannay Cuvee Saint Urbain Domaine Jean Fournier. The grapes come from vines planted in 1921-1945. The harvest is done exclusively by hand and the wine is fermented with ambient yeasts. During the vinification, 25% of whole bunches are used to give extra complexity, elegant expression of the fruit and silky tannins. The wine matures for 12 months in French oak barrels, 25% new. After that, it is bottled unfiltered and you can forget about it for a decade in your cellar.
