Clos Saint-Jacques is the Premier Cru that Burgundy treats as a Grand Cru in all but name, and Fourrier's 0.89-hectare strip of it was planted in 1910. Jean-Marie Fourrier took over the family domaine in 1994 at twenty-three, having made the 1989 vintage alongside Henri Jayer, and he has chased purity ever since: parcels vinified separately, native yeasts, no more than 20% new oak, a year on fine lees, almost no added sulfur, and no fining or filtration -- he leaves a whisper of carbon dioxide in the bottle to act as a natural preservative. The Clos itself is a 6.7-hectare amphitheater on the slope above Gevrey shared by only five owners, and it pairs Gevrey's power with an unusual sense of lift. 2010 was a tiny, cool vintage that gave small thick-skinned berries, high acidity and wines of structure and transparency rather than weight. A back-vintage bottle from a private cellar, sixteen years old and only now opening up: decant it, and expect it to keep going for years yet.

"This is initially fairly reduced though determined swirling eventually releases wonderfully layered aromas that are composed of raspberry, cherry, plum, stone and earth. There is excellent volume and richness to the strikingly well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that ooze a fine minerality on the refined, mouth coating and impressively long if presently still compact finish. This faultlessly well-balanced wine should age for years and is a wine that is going to require extended patience."

"Medium red. Perfumed aromas of raspberry, dried rose, smoke and pepper. Deep, dry and intense on the palate, with compelling inner-mouth perfume to the raspberry and orange zest flavors. The wine's exhilarating sugar/acid balance and peppery lift give the very long, savory finish outstanding verve. Tannins are utterly suave." —Stephen Tanzer

"Serious and complex. Lovely density of fruit – real energy and purity. Great line here. Majestic. Very fresh. Indubitably grand cru quality."

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).

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast duck, rack of lamb, squab with mushrooms, or aged Epoisses.

Tasting Profile

Dark cherry, rose petal, forest floor and warm spice. Medium-bodied and concentrated, with silky tannins and bright acidity driving a very long, mineral finish.
