Marsannay is an interesting area with a lot of good wines with quite some variation terroir wise. Domaine Jean Fournier is in my view one of the best interpreters of the Marsannays … and produce some truly lovely wines.
Laurent Fournier is a cheerful vigneron, and the wines are reflecting his spirit … enjoyable without getting too technical.
The wines are in general affordable for a Burgundy standard … The red Marsannays are sometimes a bit dense, but Fournier is normally very good at keeping the dark intensity down.
