Description
Still organic red from Burgundy, 13% ABV, produced by Jean Fournier. 2023 vintage. A Gevrey-Chambertin that expresses the elegance and complexity of Pinot Noir grown in this prestigious appellation. Manual harvest in small 15-kg crates, with rigorous selection in the cellar. Vinification using 50% whole grapes, moderate punching down and pumping over. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Aged in 600- and 228-liter barrels (approximately 25% new wood) for 12 months. The wines are then blended, refilled, and aged for 6 months in demi-muids. A wine that promises great balance and aging potential.
Pairings
It was much later, in 1962, that Jean Fournier settled as a winegrower in his native village. Today, his son, Laurent, is at the head of an exploitation which covers 22,5 hectares on the vineyards of the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. Read more
