The 2023 Jean Fournier, Marsannay blanc, Les Longeroies is a chardonnay that speaks with clarity and restraint. Grown in one of the village’s most prized sites, it reflects the cool elegance of Marsannay’s northern exposures and the limestone-rich soils beneath. Fermented with native yeasts and raised in large neutral oak, it strikes a beautiful balance between texture and tension. Subtle orchard fruit and citrus peel give way to a mineral core, with just enough breadth to make it feel generous without ever tipping into excess. It’s chardonnay in the minor key—precise, detailed, and quietly compelling.
