Domaine Jean Fournier
Bearing the standard for Marsannay, Domaine Jean Fournier has been at the forefront of the region's resurgence in recent years. Now helmed by Laurent Fournier, he has achieved a great deal since taking charge of the Domaine established by his father Jean in the 1960s having been named Young Vigneron of the Year in the Côte de Nuits in 2011. Vinous's Neal Martin has gone on record saying that his wines have "made a mockery of the Burgundy hierarchy" while Fournier has also dedicating much of his considerable energy towards the campaign to establish 1er Crus within Marsannay. While Laurent might be metaphorically tearing his hair out every year over the advancement in the Marsanny 1er Cru classification, Inside Burgundy's Jasper Morris MW praises him for not getting distracted, stating "everything is going well" with his own wines.

Wine Advocate (91)From vines planted at elevated densities, the 2020 Marsannay Clos du Roy Blanc exhibits notes of white flowers, citrus zest, crisp orchard fruit and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and racy, with bright acids and a saline, mineral finish, it shows plenty of promise. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-92)Rich deep purple, I do like the nose here. Laurent says it did not show so well earlier and is now only coming in to itself. He is looking at longer ageing. Huge stuffing to this yet entirely balanced. On the cusp of red and black, a little bit spicy and with excellent length. Tasted: November 2021 |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-93)5 stars. Pale to mid lemon yellow. No sign of too much wood here from Schneckenleitner barrels, much crisper with great tension behind and complex citrus fruit notes behind. Long and fine. Excellent. Marries freshness and density. Tasted: November 2021 |
