Domaine Fourrier Les Cherbaudes 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 Cherbaudes ler Cru has a perfumed, quite floral nose, with wilted white flower and light peppery scents filtering through its expressive red fruit. It is quite classic in style. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins and red fruit laced with brown spices with just a touch of earthiness on the finish. This is recommended." Vinous 92-94
