The wine that put Fourrier on the map, drinking like a Premier Cru. Jean-Marie Fourrier vinifies each parcel separately with minimal new oak, no fining or filtering, and almost no added sulfur, chasing purity above all. This village Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is blended from several old-vine parcels around the commune, and its quality routinely embarrasses bottles priced well above it. The 2016 was a classic, refined vintage that produced wines of elegance and balance. Drinking well now, with room to develop.

"A pungent nose of earth and wood leads to supple, round and delicious medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins while offering good length on the balanced finish. This is sufficiently forward that it could be enjoyed young."

"Good dark red. Cool, minty aromas and flavors of black cherry, medicinal herbs and minerals. High-pitched, suave and firmly built; a bit lean initially but became plusher with aeration, finishing with good breadth and length and rich tannins." —Stephen Tanzer

Robert Parker

90 points

"An attractive bouquet of plums, cassis and earthy forest floor introduces the 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny wine, with melting tannins, tangy acids and good concentration, concluding with a long finish. Elegant and pure, it exemplifies Fourrier's style." —William Kelley

Decanter

90 points

"The Gevrey Vieilles Vignes is a great success, and effectively equivalent in quality to several of Fourrier’s premiers crus. It opens in the glass with aromas of red and black cherry fruit, rich soil and a framing of new oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep at the core and nicely concentrated, with plenty of succulent fruit. This is the most enrobed and complete of Fourrier’s villages in 2016. Drinking window 2024-2040."

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).
