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."

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

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."
