TASTING NOTES

Domaine Jean-Marc Fourrier is a highly regarded producer in Gevrey-Chambertin, known for its meticulous viticulture and hands-off winemaking techniques. With a focus on old-vine, low-yielding vineyards, the domaine produces wines with exceptional finesse, purity, and aging potential. Fourrier works with a philosophy that emphasizes the expression of each vineyard's unique terroir, with minimal intervention in the cellar to allow the wines to evolve naturally.

The Chambertin Grand Cru vineyard, one of the most prestigious in Burgundy, is located in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. The 2017 vintage, while warm, resulted in wines of balanced richness and elegance, with the Chambertin Grand Cru offering a complex bouquet of red and black fruits, including raspberry, blackberry, and hints of crushed flower petals. The wine is intense and structured, with fine tannins and a vibrant acidity that carries through to a long, mineral-driven finish. This wine will continue to evolve beautifully over the next decade, showcasing both the depth and finesse for which this iconic vineyard is known.

"Like his négociant Latricières-Chambertin, Jean-Marie Fourrier's Chambertin is aged in 20% new wood. It's another superb old-vine bottling that's everything a Chambertin should be, even in a warmer vintage. It's floral, sappy and complex with layers of oak spice, bramble and red berry fruit and nuanced, velvety tannins Drinking Window 2025-2032."

"The 2017 Chambertin Grand Cru has a charming, quite regal bouquet with layers of crushed strawberry, raspberry and crushed iris aromas that blossom with aeration. The palate is very refined, beautifully focused with a silver bead of acidity. There is a sorbet-like freshness from start to finish, a gentle crescendo of flavours towards the blackberry, raspberry and orange zest finish that lingers persistently in the mouth. Superb."
