About this Wine
Louis Fourrier’s Côtes du Jura Rouge is a first-vintage red that already feels quietly assured. A blend of Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot Noir, it brings fresh red fruit, black cherry, lifted rose perfume and a little earth, all wrapped in polished tannins and clean acidity. Light on its feet, but not slight, this is Jura red with real depth beneath the freshness and the Fourrier touch running right through it.

Tasting Notes
Jura in origin, Fourrier in touch: juicy red fruit, black cherry, rose lift and beautifully clean freshness.
This was one of those wines that made us stop mid-pour. Rarely can you smell a wine as it leaves the bottle, but this had that immediate lift: fresh red fruit, black cherry, a little earth and that delicate Pinot-like rose perfume rising from the glass before we had even tasted it.
And then the palate followed.
Juicy, bright and beautifully composed, with clean acidity, polished tannins and real depth beneath the freshness. There is nothing forced here. No dressing up. No heaviness. Just old vines, gentle winemaking and a first vintage that already feels completely sure of itself.
Light on its feet, but not slight.
Jura in origin. Fourrier in touch. A red that feels like the start of something properly exciting.

The Plot
The brutal 2024 growing season meant Louis blended the estate’s three red grapes: Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot Noir, one third of each. The vines are old, with some planted as far back as 1956, giving the wine a quiet depth that the vintage had no right to offer.
Technical Details
This was fully destemmed, fermented with natural yeasts and raised in old oak from the Fourrier domaine in Gevrey-Chambertin. No new oak was used, and only nine barrels were made. The result is a red that feels bright, pure and lightly framed, with the old oak giving polish rather than flavour.

Discover Their Story
Château de l’Étoile is Louis Fourrier’s first chapter in the Jura: a historic estate in one of the region’s smallest and most distinctive appellations, where old vines sit among marl, limestone, woodland and cool mountain-edged air.
The wines are delicate, mineral and quietly electric, shaped by careful farming, minimal intervention and a deep respect for place. There is a Burgundian calm to the way Louis works, but these are not Burgundy-shaped wines. They are Jura through and through: bright, tense, expressive and complete.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now, but a little patience could make it even more rewarding. Open one soon, then tuck another away if you want to watch it develop.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.
What if I’m not sure this is my style?
Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
