Burghound 90 points "Truly stunning mineral-infused aromas of extract of pinot fruit and an understated smoked meat character. Medium weight flavors are pure, fine and edgy with near perfect balance and a precise, intense, beautifully long finish that etches itself into the palate. This is very classy juice, the balance, harmony and length are most impressive."

Fourrier is a sensation for some obvious reasons and for one slightly less obvious reason. Obvious reasons include: great holdings in the famous village of Gevrey Chambertin, old vines, great farming, and great wine-making. The less obvious reason is style. Jean-Marie Fourrier, after he took over his family's domaine, adopted a style that speaks with precision to what the current generation of Burgundy drinkers wants in a bottle of wine. They no longer want oak flavors. They no longer want heavy extraction. They don't want lots of sulphur and reduction (at least in their red wines), and they didn't want to wait 10 years before drinking. Instead, we want purity and transparency. We want direct access into the beautiful terroir of the Cote d'Or. To this end, Fourrier dialed back the new oak and extraction, putting him in line with other current-generation stars like Mugnier and Roumier. He eschews sulphur additions and instead allows a little bit of residual carbonation to stay in the wine to act as a preservative (so he recommends always decanting a young bottle of Fourrer).

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 90

"Easily the most elegant wine here among this limited range of '02s with truly stunning mineral-infused aromas of extract of pinot fruit and an understated smoked meat character. The medium weight flavors are pure, fine and edgy with near perfect balance and a precise, intense, beautifully long finish that etches itself into the palate. In short, this is very classy juice that isn't particularly dense but the balance, harmony and length are most impressive." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 93

"Good bright red. Complex, soil-inflected aromas of raspberry, espresso, minerals, smoke, flowers, mocha and roasted herbs. Silky-sweet in the way of the best examples from this outstanding premier cru, with sappy flavors of red fruits, flowers, spices and minerals. Finishes very long and sweet, with ineffable complexity. A lovely example of the cru." -Stephen Tanzer

Focus On: Burgundy

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!

From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
