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.
Clos de Vougeot is one of the most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy, situated in the Côte de Nuits. Known for its diverse terroir and historic significance, Clos de Vougeot consistently produces wines of complexity, depth, and aging potential. Vieille Vignes translates to "old vines," indicating that the grapes for this wine are sourced from older vineyards within the Clos de Vougeot site, which often results in wines of greater concentration and complexity.

Critics Ratings
'Mid crimson. Heady and perfumed. Succulent and juicy. Less concentrated than the Échezeaux. Quite easy. But confident. Quite chewy.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20 (Nov 2012)
