Asian Pear, Toasted Hazelnut, Wet Stone, and Old-Vine Precision

Crafted under Jean-Marie Fourrier’s micro-négociant label, this old-vine Chardonnay punches well above its regional class. It delivers a brilliant core of Asian pear, crisp apple, and toasted hazelnut, anchored by a saline, wet-stone minerality. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in neutral oak, it perfectly captures the density of older vines while retaining the vibrant tension and signature purity of the Fourrier style.

Critical Recognition

James Suckling 92 pts
  • 92 Points - James Suckling: This white has excellent freshness and density, balanced by salty freshness. Notes of Asian pears, sliced apples and hazelnuts are followed by a compact, medium- to full-bodied palate. Drink now.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay sourced from select, mature vieilles vignes (old vines) parcels within the greater Burgundy region, bottled under Fourrier’s micro-négociant label.
  • The use of old vines naturally restricts yields, contributing to a striking level of density and concentration rarely found at the standard Bourgogne Blanc level.
  • Vinification adheres to Fourrier's low-intervention philosophy: whole-cluster pressed, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and managed with minimal bâtonnage (lees stirring) to preserve tension.
  • Élevage takes place primarily in neutral, older French oak barrels, ensuring the delicate orchard fruit and terroir-driven minerality remain unmasked.
  • The stellar 2022 vintage yielded beautifully ripe, expressive fruit, resulting in a Chardonnay that balances generous texture with precise, saline acidity.

Tasting Notes

Pours a bright, pale lemon-gold. The nose is remarkably focused, opening with crisp aromas of Asian pear, green apple skin, and white flowers, complicated by delicate hints of toasted hazelnut and crushed chalk. On the palate, it is compact and medium- to full-bodied, characterized by an impressive core of orchard fruit and a gentle creaminess from aging on the lees. A spine of bright citrus acidity and wet-stone minerality drives the wine toward a clean, persistent, and distinctly saline finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at 10–12°C (50–54°F) in universal white wine glasses to maintain its bright tension and focus.
  • Decanting: No decanting necessary; open just prior to serving. Pairs beautifully with roast poultry, pan-seared scallops, or a classic Comté cheese board. Ready to drink now through 2028.
