Jean Marie Fourrier was lucky enough to have the opportunity to take over Domaine de Comte De Chapelle with their 7.5 hectares of old vineyards in 2022.
The Fourrier family is known for their exceptional red wines from the Côtes de Nuits and their expansion into the Côtes de Beaune signals a fascinating evolution in the domaine's journey.
especially with a focus on expanding their repertoire to include more white wines. Jean Marie Fourrier's venture indicates a strategic and innovative approach to both viticulture and vinification, which is of course in line with the family's proven winemaking philosophy, while also embracing new possibilities.
Critic tasting note: (2022 vintage) "Fragrant violets, bramble berries, wild blueberries and cloves on the nose, as well as a hint of dried mint and tea leaves. It’s medium- to full-bodied, nervy and tense, with a decidedly firm yet elegant tannin frame. Try from 2026." - James Suckling
"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."
