A Rare Tale of Two Worlds: The 2023 Masterclass by Jean-Marie Fourrier

For discerning collectors and palates keen to explore the nuance of terroir, this extremely limited release offers an unmissable side-by-side comparison: iconic Old World Burgundy vs. benchmark New World Gippsland, crafted under the singular vision of master winemaker Jean-Marie Fourrier.

The 2023 vintage delivered a rare, bountiful harvest across both hemispheres, allowing Fourrier to showcase his signature hands-off, ultra-precise winemaking on two distinct stages. Compare the silky, structural purity of the Bass Phillip Estate Pinot Noir—sourced from high-density, biodynamic Old Vines in Gippsland—against the elegant, mineral-driven tension of Vigne Comte de Chapelle’s Bourgogne Pinot Noir Vieille Vigne and Bourgogne Chardonnay Vieille Vigne from Burgundy. Available for a very limited time.
