"Includes Champ Forey, and the young vines of Es Chezots, in the Chardonnay rose clone. Pale yellow with a light reduction, saline notes, lively fruit here, plenty of character, the sunshine has been kept in balance. Attractively persistent. A touch softer at the finish." **** Jasper Morris MW

"The 2019 Marsannay Cuvée Saint-Urbain Blanc, sampled from tank, is very closed on the nose as I taste it. The palate is more expressive with peach, apricot and quince notes, fine acidity with a simple and fresh finish. Enjoy over the next 4-5 years.” Vinous

This wine is a blend of various plots, primarily planted with Chardonnay, complemented by a small amount of Chardonnay Rosé – a rare mutation that occurs only sporadically in Marsannay – and a few percent of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Beurot. The result is a wine with a crystal-clear aroma, an intense, full-bodied flavour, and a long finish. Although it is usually enjoyed young, my experience shows that this wine continues to develop beautifully over several years.

Laurent Fournier is a rising star in the Burgundy world. His wines from Marsannay easily reach the level of those from Nuits or Gevrey, but at half the price. A must for true Burgundy lovers.
