Jean Fournier Marsannay Es Chezots 2022 is a refined and mineral-driven Pinot Noir from one of Marsannay’s most distinctive vineyard sites in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. Crafted by Domaine Jean Fournier, a benchmark producer known for organic farming and low-intervention winemaking, this cuvée showcases the elegance, energy, and terroir transparency that have elevated Marsannay’s reputation among Burgundy enthusiasts.
The “Es Chezots” climat is situated on cooler hillside terroirs with complex limestone and marl soils, contributing freshness, smoky minerality, and structural finesse. The 2022 vintage produced concentrated yet balanced fruit, retaining vibrant acidity and precision despite the warm growing season. Partial whole-cluster fermentation and restrained oak ageing add savoury complexity and texture while preserving purity of fruit.
Widely regarded as a serious and age-worthy Marsannay, Es Chezots combines dark fruit depth with lifted aromatics and mineral tension in a classic Côte de Nuits style.
