Description
The wine is characterised by notes of red fruit and roasted coffee. Its minerality, which tends to be austere in its youth, comes from very strong limestone (oolites) and counterbalances the heat of the area, which is the earliest on the estate.

From this winery
The Fournier family has been present in Marsannay since the 17th century, with writings from the reign of Louis XIII already attesting to the presence of a Fournier in the village.
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
