Description

This is Fourrier’s Bourgogne Blanc under the Vigne Comte de Chappelle label - and like everything he touches, it’s got more going on than the name might suggest. Sourced from vineyards just outside top-tier appellations and made with the same light-touch philosophy as his reds, this is white Burgundy that overdelivers in both clarity and feel.

The fruit is pressed gently, fermented wild, and aged in mostly older oak, with no fining or filtration. The result is clean, bright Chardonnay with citrus and white peach at its core, plus a subtle nutty edge and great line of acidity. It’s not trying to be showy - just pure, precise and quietly detailed.

For fans of restrained, mineral-driven white Burgundy, this is a savvy pick. A smart introduction to Fourrier’s whites and a step up from your average Bourgogne Blanc.

"Jean-Marie Fourrier is one of Burgundy’s most talented and thoughtful winemakers, with a deep respect for his vineyards and a commitment to expressing their unique character."
- Tim Atkin, MW (Skurnik Wines & Spirits)

"The wines are effortless and forward fruity with a fine inner tension and balance – lovely energy and with a fine delicate expression of the Gevrey terroirs."
- Winehog (Winehog - with a passion)

"Jean-Marie makes some of Burgundy’s most gloriously expressive wines... his reds share a common thread of superb balance, captivating elegance and finesse, haunting aromatic complexity and fine structure."
- Skurnik Wines & Spirits

92 points - "This white has excellent freshness and density, balanced by salty freshness. Notes of Asian pears, sliced apples and hazelnuts are followed by a compact, medium- to full-bodied palate. Drink now." - Claire Nesbitt (JamesSuckling.com)
