Domaine Fourrier’s Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru “Cherbaudes” 2008 comes from old Pinot Noir vines just below the Grand Cru Mazis, rooted in limestone-clay soils. Jean-Marie Fourrier farms with minimal intervention, fermenting with native yeasts and aging in older barrels to preserve site expression.

The 2008 vintage yields a finely etched, aromatic Burgundy, balancing Gevrey’s earthy power with graceful tannins. A classic, mature 1er Cru that showcases Fourrier’s elegant, terroir-focused style.

"An elegant, complex and relatively refined nose speaks of red and blue pinot fruit, plum and plenty of Gevrey style earth notes that are also reflected by the rich yet beautifully detailed flavors that also possess a lovely mouth feel on the firm finish that is supported by dense but fine tannins." —Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

"Good medium red. Raspberry, cherry, crushed stone, smoked meat, orange peel, mint and wild herbs on the highly complex, very ripe nose. Then quite closed in the mouth, less sweet and more peppery than the nose suggests. Densely packed but in need of aging. Fourrier told me he waited at least two months between the end of the malolactic fermentations and the bottling, and this wine was one of the latest to finish its malolactic fermentation." —Stephen Tanzer

Robert Parker

90 points

"Strong salt and cherry pit; sage and wormwood inflections; fresh cherry, red currant, and blackberry along with smoked meat stock mark the nose of Fourrier’s 2008 Gevrey-Chambertin Cherbaudes. Bright and gripping as well as texturally dense, this is seamless in its finishing meld of berry, animal, and mineral elements and appears to exude the stamina and self-confidence needed for ten or a dozen years’ high performance." —David Schildknecht

More about Domaine Fourrier

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).
