JEAN FOURNIER - Bourgogne Côte d'Or 2022

Bourgogne Côte d'Or Pinot Noir 2022 – Domaine Jean Fournier

This cuvée is the result of a rigorous selection of plots located primarily within the Marsannay appellation. Domaine Jean Fournier blends grapes from specific vineyard sites (lieux-dits) such as "Les Lavaux," "Les Longues Pièces," and "Les Platières." The Pinot Noir vines, planted between 1960 and 2018, provide a mix of youth and maturity that builds the wine's complexity. Cultivated through organic farming with attentive soil management, this wine purely expresses the identity of its terroir.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: The wine reveals a brilliantly shining ruby color.

• Aromas: The nose is characterized by an intensity of crisp red fruits, dominated by raspberry and cherry.

• Palate: The palate balances depth and indulgence, typical of the Marsannay region. Balance is ensured by controlled acidity and silky tannins.

• Winemaking & Aging: The vinification includes 25% whole clusters. After 12 months in barrels, the wine rests for an additional 4 months in stainless steel tanks a method that refines its roundness while preserving the brightness of the fruit.

Food & Wine Pairings

This Bourgogne Côte d'Or 2022 is a versatile wine that pairs ideally with:

• Meats: A traditional coq au vin, duck breast (magret de canard), or a pork filet mignon with mushrooms.

• Cheeses: A platter of aged cheeses, particularly soft-ripened varieties like Camembert or Brie.

Why Choose This Cuvée?

This wine reflects the estate's commitment to organic viticulture and environmental respect, offering a harmonious structure and aromatic complexity that is accessible even in its youth.
