Highlights
- 100% Chardonnay sourced from Champ Gain, a high-altitude Premier Cru in Puligny-Montrachet known for producing some of the village's most tensile and elegant wines, bottled under Fourrier's micro-négociant label.
- The vineyard's shallow, rocky limestone soils impart a distinctive crushed-stone minerality and laser-like precision to the finished wine.
- Produced from Vieilles Vignes (old vines), which naturally restrict yields and provide deep flavor concentration that perfectly balances the site's naturally high acidity.
- Vinified following Jean-Marie Fourrier's low-intervention philosophy: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and minimal lees stirring (bâtonnage) to preserve absolute freshness and tension.
- The generous 2023 vintage yielded pristine, expressive fruit, aged meticulously in roughly 20% new French oak to allow the terroir and delicate floral aromatics to shine unmasked.
Tasting Notes
Pours a brilliant, pale lemon-gold. The nose is highly focused and pure, soaring from the glass with inviting aromas of white peach, Meyer lemon zest, and white acacia flowers, underpinned by an intense crushed-chalk minerality. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully tense, driven by a racy spine of acidity. The pristine orchard fruit is tightly coiled, leading to a long, precise, and distinctly saline finish that vibrates with energy.
Serving Suggestion
- Temperature: Serve at 11–13°C (52–55°F) in standard white Burgundy glasses to focus its bright, mineral-driven aromatics.
- Decanting: Minimal aeration needed; simply open 30 minutes before serving. Pairs exquisitely with seared scallops, sole meunière, or a fresh goat cheese salad. Drink from 2026 through 2038.
