2022 Jean-Marie Fourrier Vigne Comte de Chapelle Bourgogne Blanc

This is Fourrier’s Bourgogne Blanc under the Vigne Comte de Chappelle label - and like everything he touches, it’s got more going on than the name might suggest. Sourced from vineyards just outside top-tier appellations and made with the same light-touch philosophy as his reds, this is white Burgundy that overdelivers in both clarity and feel.

The fruit is pressed gently, fermented wild, and aged in mostly older oak, with no fining or filtration. The result is clean, bright Chardonnay with citrus and white peach at its core, plus a subtle nutty edge and great line of acidity. It’s not trying to be showy - just pure, precise and quietly detailed.

For fans of restrained, mineral-driven white Burgundy, this is a savvy pick. A smart introduction to Fourrier’s whites and a step up from your average Bourgogne Blanc.
