His domaine is next door to our Marsannay grower, Coillot.
Domaine Jean Fournier
Laurent, who took over from his father in 2004, is, along with our producer in Marsannay, Christophe Coillot, .one of the movers and shakers of the village.
His domaine is progressive and ambitious and he is at the forefront of the dynamism that is putting Marsannay very firmly on the vinous map. These wines are packed with personality yet have control and high quality tannins. He makes both red and white from the village’s most famous plot, Clos du Roy, but also makes a very small quantity of a special cuvée called Trois Terres, which has elements of a serious Gevrey-Chambertin about it. Impressive wines.
