"Also all chardonnay, planted at a density of 13,000 vines per hectare. A creamy, ripe citrus. Ooh – vibrant again – even more mineral, less oak, faintly saline, great wine." Bill Nanson

"The 2017 Marsannay Les Longeroies Blanc has a lifted bouquet of white-chocolate-tinged citrus fruit, the high-density planting (13-20,000 vines per hectare) fueling the concentration. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, fine tension and a mineral-driven finish. Classy, though not long-term." Vinous

This vineyard has been entirely replanted with the highest-quality plant material at an unprecedented density of 13,000 vines per hectare! Add to that the controlled yields, the limestone-rich terroir, the meticulous vinification, and aging in demi-muids from the renowned Austrian cooper Stockinger, and you realize this is a truly magnificent white Burgundy. Already very flattering in its youth, but believe me, this wine ages beautifully—as evidenced by a recently tasted, heavenly 2011!

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.
