The 2023 Jean Fournier, Marsannay, Trois Terres, Vieilles Vignes brings together fruit from three old-vine parcels to create a pinot noir that feels both complete and unforced. It’s a wine of synthesis—each site lending something distinct, whether it’s depth, lift, or aromatic detail. The grapes are farmed organically, fermented with native yeasts, and aged with restraint, allowing the character of place to lead.

It’s Marsannay with a sense of perspective—layered, luminous, and quietly expressive.
