Crisp Orchard Fruit, White Floral, Wet Stone, and Old-Vine Purity

Crafted under Jean-Marie Fourrier’s prestigious micro-négociant label, this old-vine Chardonnay vastly overdelivers for its regional classification. Harvested from mature parcels that naturally concentrate flavor, the 2023 vintage offers a brilliant core of crisp orchard fruit, delicate white blossoms, and subtle almond. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in neutral oak, it preserves Fourrier’s signature tension, showcasing remarkable purity and wet-stone minerality.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay sourced from select, mature vieilles vignes (old vines) parcels within the greater Burgundy region, bottled under Fourrier’s micro-négociant label.
  • Old vines naturally regulate and restrict yields, imparting a level of concentration and textural depth rarely encountered at the regional Bourgogne Blanc level.
  • Vinified with minimal intervention: whole-cluster pressed, fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, and strictly avoiding excessive bâtonnage (lees stirring) to maintain tension.
  • Élevage takes place in older, neutral French oak barrels, ensuring the vintage's bright fruit and terroir-driven minerality are perfectly preserved without wood interference.
  • The generous 2023 vintage provided excellent ripening conditions, yielding a Chardonnay with expressive upfront fruit that remains balanced by a precise, refreshing acidic spine.

Tasting Notes

Pours a luminous, pale lemon-gold. The nose is focused and highly expressive, delivering inviting aromas of crisp green apple, white peach, and lemon zest, accented by subtle hints of almond blossom and crushed chalk. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully textured, showcasing a concentrated core of orchard fruit derived from the old vines. A brisk line of citrus acidity and wet-stone minerality runs through the center, leading to a vibrant, clean, and gently 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; simply open just prior to serving. Pairs exceptionally well with goat cheese tarts, pan-seared white fish, or roast chicken. Ready to enjoy now through 2029.
