Jean Fournier, Marsannay Cuvee Saint Urbain Blanc

An up-and-coming domaine in the hands of Laurent Fournier, who has farmed it organically since 2004 and is currently undergoing certification. Fournier is moving towards 350-litre barrels to avoid the overt taste of new wood while still letting the wine breathe through the staves. Marsannay bottlings include Cuvée St-Urbain, Les Longeroies (red and white), Clos du Roy and les Trois Terres old-vines cuvee, made with most of the stems included. Other vineyards include Gevrey- Chambertin and Fixin Les Petits Crais.
