Domaine Jean Fournier Marsannay Les Longeroies Blanc 2022

✓ I lager

Enjoy it now, or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant before serving. Les Longeroies Blanc bursts with scents of citrus zest, delicate white flowers, orchard fruits, and peach. It is made from 100% Chardonnay, from the Longeroies vineyard – a name that means “long and narrow”, it being one of Marsannay’s largest vineyards. With regards to the Longeroies Rouge, this wine is another side to the same coin – it is packed with sun-baked fruits, dry undergrowth, and great depth of flavour. The Fournier’s are a winemaking family with a rich heritage in the Marsannay region, with a recorded history dating back to the 17th century. The modern winery was founded in 1962 by Jean Fournier and is continued today by his son, Laurent, who has ushered in an age of organic cultivation and minimal intervention. This wine is deep and velvety on the palate mirroring its golden colour. You can discover luscious flavours of ripe green apple, toasted nuts, pear, lemon curd, and acacia. Its creamy side is balanced out by an elegant vein of acidity, which drives the experience into a mineral-laden finish. This is an excellent Marsannay white, perfect for pairing with summery salads, seafood, or poultry.
