Marsannay, Cuvée St-Urbain, Jean Fournier (37.5 cl) - 2022

The name of this wine comes from the old monastery which bordered the estate and was destroyed 400 years ago. The only remnant is the dovecote, which can be found on the estate's labels. Laurent Fournier's interpretation emphasises the finesse and fruit, as well as the sapid character of the stony soils. The notes of burlat cherry are irresistible and the Q/P ratio is first-rate!
