Awarded one star in the Revue du Vin de France guide and listed among the properties to watch in the Bettane & Desseauve guide: ‘Laurent Fournier, with his humour, intelligence and delicacy, is one of the most brilliant talents of the new Burgundian generation.’
Vinous (N. Martin): 87-89/100 "The 2024 Bourgogne Aligoté Cuvée Saint-Urbain contains fruit from Aux Boutières this year [0.8-acre vineyard in Marsannay] this year, matured in stainless steel. This has a vigorous nose with touches of yellow plum, pithy pear and honeysuckle scents. Fine delineation. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bread of acidity, taut and linear, perhaps just missing a bit of chutzpah on the finish but it is a decent Aligoté that will give four or five year's drinking pleasure."

Rated one star in the Revue du Vin de France guide, and one of the properties to watch in the Bettane & Desseauve guide: “Laurent Fournier, with his humor, intelligence and delicacy, is one of the most brilliant talents of the new Burgundy generation”.Located on a steep hillside with high limestone content, Clos du Roy possesses a mineral and salty character that unfolds over time.
Vinous (N. Martin): 88-90/100 "The 2024 Marsannay Clos du Roy offers pretty red fruit commingly with orange pith and light leafy aromas. It just needs a little more delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded, quite supple tannins. Not as complex as the previous couple of vintages but cohesive with freshness ans tension on the finish. Enjoy this over several years."

Rated one star in the Revue du Vin de France guide, and one of the properties to watch in the Bettane & Desseauve guide: “Laurent Fournier, with his humor, intelligence and delicacy, is one of the most brilliant talents of the new Burgundy generation”.Les Longeroies constitutes the DNA of Domaine Fournier, as this climat accounts for more than a quarter of its vineyards.
Vinous (N. Martin): 85-87/100 "The 2024 Marsannay Les Longeroies has a much lighter and airier bouquet than previous vintage, bright red fruit that is well defined albeit missing the same level of complexity. The palate is well balanced with light tannins and fine acidity but the finish feels a bit diminished by the traumatic growing season and lacks some energy. Maybe it was suffering on the day of my visit?"
Bourgogne Aujourd'hui : 94/100 "Deep colour. A complex, intense nose of sweet black fruit, with elegant floral notes and a hint of mocha. On the palate, it is full-bodied and opens with a delicious fruitiness. The tannins give the wine a rounded, delicate structure right through to the finish."

Vinous (N. Martin): 91-93/100 "The 2024 Marsannay Trois Terres Vieilles Vignes has a cohesive and focused bouquet, pure red berry fruit, wild hedgerw and light violet scents that blossom in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, very elegant and pure, demonstrating more minéralité and tension than Fournier's other red cuvées. Bon vin."

Martin): 88-90/100 "The 2024 Fixin Village is blended with the Croix Violette this year. It has a light bouquet, a little more tetiairy in style, perhaps a little discombobulated by the previous week's raking. The palate is well balanced with a powdery-textured entry. I appreciate the fruit profile: strawberry and red cherries, bright and perky on the finish. This should end up being a fine Fixin."

The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, fresh and vibrant, quite poised with impressive mineralité for a Gevrey-Village on the finish. Worth seeking out, this punches above its weight."
