The 2014 vintage is quite elegant and light on its feet, floral and delicate on the nose. The palate is filled with ripe red cherries and raspberries, mingling with mineral notes.
Producer Information
Domaine Fourrier is a well-regarded wine producer based in Gevrey-Chambertin, in Burgundy’s northern Côte de Nuits subregion. Its wines, mostly made from Pinot Noir, are highly sought-after and known for their silky finesse. Fourrier is perhaps best known for its wine from the famed Clos Saint-Jacques Premier Cru vineyard. The domaine’s vineyard holdings total just under nine hectares (22 acres), located predominantly in Gevrey-Chambertin. These include parcels in seven different Gevrey-Chambertin premier cru sites, and a small 0.26-hectare (0.64-acre) plot in the Griottes-Chambertin Grand Cru vineyard. As well as the well-known premiers crus (including Clos Saint-Jacques and Combe aux Moine), Fourrier also runs over three hectares (eight acres) of village-level Gevrey-Chambertin. The wider estate also boasts two plots in Chambolle-Musigny (in the Premier Cru Les Gruenchers and a site in village-level Chambolle), the Premier Cru Clos Sorbe in Morey-Saint-Denis, and the Les Petits Vougeots Premier Cru. Only fruit from vines older than 30 years old are used to make Domaine Fourrier wines.
