Domaine Fourrier farms a tiny 0.26-hectare slice of Griotte-Chambertin, planted in the 1920s. The 2001 vintage reflects Jean-Marie Fourrier’s early work: old-vine fruit, minimal intervention, and total vineyard expression.

Fermented with native yeasts and aged in used oak, it’s a transparent Grand Cru Burgundy from a balanced vintage. A rare, fully mature bottle from one of Gevrey’s most respected growers.

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 94

"Stylistically similar to the Clos St. Jacques but with a bit more weight and extract and when coupled with the knock-out complexity of the finish, this is a brilliant example of the appellation, combining sheer elegance with stunning purity, a combination that I find irresistible."

Antonio Galloni

AG 93

"Medium red. Tight aromas of red cherry, redcurrant, rose petal, minerals and exotic spices. Silky, fat and sweet, but with the inner-mouth energy that comes from calcaire The most seductive today of these 2001s, and wonderfully pliant for the vintage. But this also boasts terrific freshness and grip. Finishes silky, rich and very long, with noble tannins." -Stephen Tanzer
