Domaine Jean Fournier Marsannay Le Chapitre 2022

This one’s ready to roll whenever you are. Enjoy it now, or let those flavors deepen in your cellar for up to 10 years. And don’t forget to decant it for an hour before you pour—it’s worth the wait.

Le Chapitre greets you with an enchanting bouquet of sour red cherry, wild raspberry, warm baking spices, and a hint of wet soil and purple flowers. This medium-bodied red, made with a blend of 15- and 75-year-old Pinot Noir vines, pours a beautiful crimson color and captures the essence of Marsannay in every sip.

The Fourniers are practically royalty in Marsannay, with a winemaking history that stretches all the way back to the 1600s! Jean Fournier founded the modern winery in 1962, and today, his son Laurent keeps the family tradition alive. Laurent’s a champion of organic viticulture, ensuring the purest expression of the terroir.

Get ready for an explosion of fresh strawberry and raspberry on your palate, balanced by a lively acidity and fine tannins that give it a wonderfully elegant structure. This wine was fermented with whole bunches and aged in oak for 12 months, resulting in a complex profile with earthy notes, a touch of spice, and subtle hints of minerality, forest floor, and cinnamon. It’s a Burgundy lover’s dream! Pair Le Chapitre with roast poultry, mushroom risotto, or a selection of pungent cheeses.
