Vintage Character The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a warm, dry growing season, leading to wines with generous fruit concentration and a harmonious balance of freshness and richness. Domaine Fourrier Bourgogne Chardonnay 2022 captures the vibrancy of the region’s classic white grape, sourced from select parcels with limestone-rich soils that impart a subtle mineral edge. Aromas of white peach, lemon zest, and acacia blossom rise from the glass, complemented by gentle hints of hazelnut and wet stone.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, this wine is energetic and pure, with juicy citrus, crisp apple, and a touch of brioche, all wrapped in a finely textured mouthfeel and a lingering mineral-driven finish. Its precision and elegance make it a versatile companion for dishes such as grilled sea bass with lemon-butter sauce, creamy risotto with fresh herbs, or a classic goat cheese salad, showcasing its adaptability at the table.
Winery Background Domaine Fourrier, located in Gevrey-Chambertin, is celebrated for its meticulous viticulture and winemaking, with roots tracing back to the 1930s. Under the guidance of Jean-Marie Fourrier, the estate practices low-intervention techniques, manual harvesting, and gentle pressing to preserve the purity of fruit. While renowned for its red Burgundies, Domaine Fourrier’s whites receive the same careful attention, including the use of natural yeasts and minimal new oak, allowing each wine to authentically express its origin and vintage character. This dedication to tradition and clarity has established Domaine Fourrier as a benchmark producer for those seeking genuine expressions of Burgundy’s terroir.
