A cult Gevrey estate's take on what many call the commune's finest vineyard. Jean-Marie Fourrier vinifies each parcel separately with minimal new oak, no fining or filtering, and almost no added sulfur, chasing purity above all. Clos Saint Jacques is a Premier Cru in name but grand cru in reputation and price, a perfectly sited amphitheater on the slope above Gevrey village; Fourrier's holding here comes from vines planted back in 1910. The 2012 was a small, concentrated vintage that produced dense, structured, ageworthy reds. Drinking well now but built to reward years more cellaring.

"Bright, moderately saturated dark red. Brilliantly pure, vibrant aromas of raspberry, rose petal, spices and crushed stone; here the terroir trumps the vintage character. Wonderfully silky on the palate but with a firm spine of acidity giving the flavors of red berries, flowers and crushed stone a youthfully clenched quality. Finishes with outstanding breadth and saline complexity, the noble tannins thoroughly coated by fruit. It will be a treat to try this wine next to the 2013 version a decade from now." —Stephen Tanzer

"Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St Jacques from Fourrier is showing the most stems on the nose, but it is so full of character with supreme delineation. The aromatics clearly need three or four years to fully coalesce. The palate is divine: supremely fine tannin, perfectly judged acidity, utterly harmonious with not a hair out of place on the finish. There is so much sophistication here that it does not know what to do with itself. This is the Clos Saint Jacques that is leading the pack - a quite brilliant wine from Jean-Marie Fourrier." —Neal Martin

"Scented and savoury – the most seductive and expressive of the three Clos St-Jacques I have tasted today but this is truly glorious. Not massive in construction but very linear and limpid. Crunchy very clean – clean as a mountain stream!"

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).
