Detailed Description

Reviews:
- Wine Advocate: The 2009 Griotte-Chambertin is a relatively delicate, ethereal wine with expressive aromatics and understated fruit. Deceptively medium in body.
- Allen Meadows: This is also intensely floral as well as quite elegant with a highly attractive sense of freshness to the high-toned red berry and wet stone suffused aromas. The seductively textured, concentrated and mouth coating flavors possess a taut muscularity on the refined, intense and hugely long finish where a discreet touch of wood surfaces.
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.
