Ripe Strawberry, Crushed Gravel, Silky Texture, and Old-Vine Concentration

Sourced from a remarkable parcel planted in 1942, this micro-négociant cuvée brings Jean-Marie Fourrier’s masterful touch to the gravelly soils of Beaune Les Grèves. Completely destemmed to highlight absolute fruit purity, it delivers a gorgeous profile of ripe strawberry, dark cherry, and nuanced spice. Supple, silky, and elegantly structured, it perfectly balances old-vine concentration with Fourrier's signature finesse.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir sourced from Les Grèves, Beaune’s most famous and highly regarded Premier Cru, bottled under Fourrier's micro-négociant label, Vigne Comte de Chapelle.
  • Produced from a heritage parcel of Vieilles Vignes (old vines) planted in 1942, which naturally restricts yields and enhances flavor concentration and depth.
  • The vineyard's distinctive sandy, gravel-rich soils (grèves translates to gravel) impart exceptional drainage, translating to a wine of profound mineral elegance and supple structure.
  • Vinified following Jean-Marie Fourrier's strict domaine protocols: 100% destemmed, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and managed with ultra-gentle extraction to ensure a silky texture.
  • The generous 2023 vintage yielded perfectly ripe, expressive fruit, balanced by careful élevage in roughly 20% new French oak, and bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Tasting Notes

Pours a brilliant, transparent medium ruby. The nose is highly expressive and pure, brimming with crushed ripe strawberry, dark cherry, and a touch of wild raspberry, seamlessly interwoven with delicate floral notes and subtle baking spice. On the palate, it is supple and incredibly elegant, carrying its concentrated old-vine fruit with effortless grace. The tannins are impeccably fine and silky, balanced by a fresh core of acidity that leads into a long, mineral-driven, and polished finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at 15–17°C (59–62°F) in large Burgundy bowls to best capture the wine's lifted aromatic purity.
  • Decanting: Aerate for 45 minutes if opening in its youth. Pairs beautifully with roast partridge, duck breast with a cherry reduction, or an earthy wild mushroom risotto. Drink from 2026 through 2038.
