Description
Domaine Jean Fournier began in 1962 in Marsannay-La-Côte, a small village north of the Côte de Nuits. In 2003, Jean’s son Laurent took over the 16 hectare estate, certifying it as organic in 2008. This Pinot Noir comes off marl and limestone pebbles, was 80% destemmed and native fermented over 2 weeks prior to aging one year in 600L barrels. It was bottled with light filtration, and following the biodynamic moon calendar. Pouring a deeper crimson/violet this leads with ripe plum / prune, baked cherry, and sultry raspberry along a plumped palate. Tannins are soft and sticky, like the velveteen palate, which straightens itself a little on the saline finish. Ready to drink now. It has some meaty richness to the aroma along with spiced dark plum. It has plenty of depth for its level and there is a sweet core of fruit. It finishes with a pleasant savoury edge. A great bottle!
