Description

Jean-Marie Fourrier is best known for his benchmark Gevrey-Chambertin reds, but his recent foray into white Burgundy has been turning heads - and this 2022 Meursault is a perfect example of why. Made under the Vigne Comte de Chappelle label, this is sourced from trusted growers, then vinified with the same light hand and focus on purity that defines his reds.

There’s no flashy oak or overworked richness here - it’s all about balance and detail. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, aged in mostly older oak, and bottled without fining or filtration, the 2022 is precise and tightly wound, with citrus, almond, and just a touch of savoury reduction. The fruit is clean, the structure is sharp, and there’s that quiet drive you only get from serious hands in the cellar.

It’s a refined, modern Meursault - not built for impact, but for clarity and flow.

"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

94 points - "Attractive flint and salted butter aromas waft from the glass, followed by white peaches, roasted almonds and cacao butter. Full-bodied, deliciously buttery and broad—just what you want from a Meursault—with intensity and persistence. Hard to resist. Drink now or hold." - Claire Nesbitt (JamesSuckling.com)
