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

"This is almost as complex and aromatically pure as the '04 with notes of game, crushed herb and minerals that introduce much more structured and intense medium full flavors of obvious class and grace. This is quite an elegant wine with lovely harmony and strikingly good balance. This should age well yet the richness of the material will permit it to drink well young too." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 92

"Deep red. A bit reduced on the nose, hinting at blackberry, violet and minerals. Then big, broad and seamless in the mouth, with highly concentrated black fruit and spice flavors. Shows more texture than sweetness today, but the bound-up CO2 is currently making this very dense wine difficult to taste. This will require considerable aging and should be outstanding." -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!
