Domaine Fourrier La Combe Aux Moines Vieilles Vignes, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, France 2023

Domaine Fourrier is a benchmark producer in Gevrey-Chambertin, led by Jean-Marie Fourrier, who brought the estate to prominence after training with Henri Jayer. Working primarily with old vines in top sites like Clos Saint-Jacques and Griotte-Chambertin, the domaine emphasizes meticulous farming and a minimalist cellar approach—native fermentations, minimal new oak, and gentle handling to preserve purity. The wines are prized for their silky texture, aromatic clarity, and precise expression of terroir, making Fourrier one of the most sought-after names in modern Burgundy.

"The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Combe Aux Moines ler Cru has a nicely detailed bouquet with a mixture of finely delineated raspberry, wild strawberry, blackcurrant, damp loam and light tobacco scents. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannins. It's perhaps the fleshiest of Fourrier's Premier Crus with a dash of white pepper on the finish. I actually prefer this to the 2022 tasted last year."
