About this Item
In 1994, when he was only 23 years old, Jean-Marie Fourrier took over his family domaine. He had been working on the family estate since 1989, while also completing internships with Henri Jayer and Domaine Drouhin Oregon. Jean Marie's winemaking philosophy closely mirror's Jayer's – making great wines begins in the vineyard. He works hard to maintain healthy vines and practices extremely natural winemaking techniques. Today, Domaine Fourrier holds vines in a few of Gevrey Chambertin’s top vineyards, where most vines date back to the beginning of the 20th century. His most famous holdings, resulting in 'cult wines', are the ones in Griotte Chambertin and Clos St Jacques, which were planted between 1902 - 1910.

Critics Ratings
Fourrier Combe aux Moines 1er Cru Gevery Chambertin 2016
‘Rather paler than most – pale crimson. Very rich and round on the nose but with acidity and delicacy on the palate. Sandy tannins on the end. Real lift here.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com. 17/20 (Nov 2017)
Fourrier Les Goulots Vieille Vigne 1er Cru Gevery Chambertin 2016
‘A certain sweetness that is missing from the village Gevrey. This should not disappoint and has real vitality.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com. 16.5/20 (Jan 2018)
‘Good bright-medium red. Tight, dark aromas of black fruits and licorice pastille lifted by a whiff of cranberry. Ripe and broad, but with terrific inner-mouth floral lift and a rocky pungency. Tannins are fully ripe and fine grained. Offers a rather exhilarating and uncommon combination of cooler flavours and full phenolic ripeness. This wine comes from a very cook, east-facing site planted on a rock, which had difficulty ripening its fruit prior to global warming.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91-93/100 (Jan 2018)
Fourrier Cherbaudes Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru 2016
‘Very broad and lacy. Transparent and much more finesse than a typical Gevrey. Hint of chestnuts. Dry finish but lots of pleasure and promise. Very precise.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com. 17/20 (Nov 2017)
