Perfumed and juicy berry and cherry fruits. Generous, fleshy and delicious. Light florals and spice. Some saline minerality to the finish and a gentle chalky feel. A real crowd pleaser and plenty of wine here for the level. JH 2025
Laurent Fournier spends countless hours in his vineyards and has a deft hand in the cellar. The wines are deep and pure, driven by their fruit and develop gorgeous perfumes with cellaring. He is regarded by many, as the best producer in Marsannay and with its proximity to Gevrey-Chambertin, his wines share many of the traits with top Gevrey, except for the price tag. His 2023’s are splendid. Laurent kept yields relatively low in this abundant harvest and picked on the earlier side to maintain freshness. He believes that 2023 is the best vintage he has experienced for quality and quantity.
