Description

The "Cuvée Saint-Urbain" showcases the particularly precise and mineral side of Marsannay blanc. The lime-rich soils in the north of the Côte de Nuits lend the Chardonnay a cool tension and a clear, straightforward structure. Jean Fournier deliberately works in a terroir-driven manner with very restrained vinification, which makes the wine incredibly transparent and lively.

The 2023 vintage is open and energetic, yet calm and harmoniously structured. The Chardonnay combines fine ripeness with fresh minerality and a very precise, linear structure. Instead of opulent creaminess or dominant use of wood, the "Cuvée Saint-Urbain" clearly focuses on balance, freshness, and Burgundian finesse. It is precisely this combination of tension and elegance that makes the wine particularly characterful.

The vinification remains discreet and excellently integrated, so that origin and vintage are uncompromisingly in the spotlight. As a result, the Marsannay blanc exhibits a very classic Côte-de-Nuits style – mineral, elegant, and with a long, delicately salty finish.
