Domaine Jean Fournier Marsannay Le Chapître Vieilles Vignes 2022

Chapître is a top vineyard in Chenôve, entitled to the AOP Marsannay since 2019. Since 2016, the grapes for this wine come partially from recently planted high-quality vines with high density. It is an exceptionally fine, very aromatic, smooth, and supple wine that can be compared in style to Clos du Roy with a bit more finesse and a bit less concentration.

Inside Burgundy: “Glowing mid purple. A touch of clean reduction. A pleasing racy red fruit, then the peppers from the whole bunches, completely clean on the palate, with a fine long finish. Very lovely at the back, just the little reduction on the nose which needs to clean up, as it will. Drink from 2027-2031.” ****
