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 90
"Slightly riper aromas include those of black cherry, dark raspberry, violet and pretty exotic tea wisps. The sleeker and slightly richer medium-bodied flavors possess a subtle minerality that comes to the fore on the slightly warm finish that also reflects a hint of bitter pit fruit character." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 91
"The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Village has a flattering bouquet with violet and peony tinged black cherry fruit, well-defined and focused. The oak here is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, quite granular in texture with a brisk, saline finish. Give this 2-4 years in bottle and it should turn into a fine Chambolle that will be hard to resist in its flush of youth." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 91
"The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes is pretty, bursting with aromas of sweet berries, plums, rose petals and soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, pure and charming, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a saline finish, it's more elegant than the Morey-Saint-Denis that preceded it." -William Kelley

Jancis Robinson

JR 16.5
"Tank sample. Deep ruby; soft fruit - raspberry and a little plum. Gentle, moderate tannins."
