Domaine Fourrier, led by Jean-Marie Fourrier since 1994, emphasizes site transparency through low-intervention winemaking. The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieille Vigne comes from organically farmed parcels of 60–100-year-old vines across multiple village lieux-dits.

Fermented with native yeasts and partial whole clusters, it aged 16 months in used French oak and was bottled unfined and unfiltered. A structured, mineral Pinot Noir that reflects Gevrey’s old-vine depth and precision.

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 91
"A completely different and more deeply pitched nose is comprised by notes of wild dark currant, poached plum and plenty of newly turned earth nuances. The medium-bodied flavors are not especially dense but they possess both good vibrancy and a beguiling texture while delivering good if not truly special persistence on the complex and balanced finale." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 91
"The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Village comes from three parcels around the appellation. Its delicate nose unfolds raspberry and wild strawberry hints in the glass, gaining intensity with aeration. The palate is quite edgy and poised, framed by fine tannins. It has good terroir expression and impressive length. This comes recommended—it's better than the 2022." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 91
"Bursting with aromas of blackberries, orange zest, peonies and spices, Fourrier's 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, with a succulent core of fruit, polished tannins and an expansive finish." -William Kelley

Jancis Robinson

JR 17
"Almost gleefully young and fruity tooty and unformed! Feels like plushy pools of fruit in which the liquorice-stained tannins are splashing away and not really paying attention to doing their grown-up job. It’s wickedly delicious right now – so much so that you could forget to take it seriously. But underneath all that rambunctious fruit is structure, grace, depth and length."
