MARSANNAY CUVEE SAINT URBAIN

€28.00

Bouteille 75 cl

The Domaine Jean FOURNIER covers some 16 hectares in the commune of Marsannay, in the Côte-de-Nuits region. It is owned by the heir grandson, Jean FOURNIER, who took over the reins of the estate in 2001. He decided to orientate the estate's agriculture towards a more nature-friendly approach. He opted for horse-drawn ploughing in the old vines and pruning that respected the sap flow of the vines, alternating the position of the rod from one year to the next. It was thanks to these practices that he obtained organic certification in 2008. This special treatment of the vines ensures long-lasting wines and incomparable finesse.

About

This Pinot Noir combines finesse, suppleness and elegance. The Marsannay “Saint Urbain” parcel faces due south. The vines grow on soft limestone and silica soil, which rests on an ancient river bed. Aging lasts 12 months in oak barrels and 4 months in stainless steel vats before bottling, giving the wine an intense fruity character.
