About this Item
Gevrey-Chambertin is a prestigious village in Burgundy known for producing powerful and complex red wines made from Pinot Noir grapes. The Premier Cru vineyard of Cherbaudes is located within Gevrey-Chambertin and is recognized for its exceptional terroir, which yields wines of depth, concentration, and aging potential. "Vieille Vignes" indicates that the grapes for this wine come from old vines, which often produce wines of greater complexity and intensity.

Critics Ratings
‘Tasted blind in Hong Kong, it had been several years since I last tasted the Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru les Cherbaudes from Jean-Marie Fourrier. There is a touch of struck match on the nose that is quite high-toned for Jean-Marie, the fruit much darker when juxtaposed against Rousseau's Clos Saint Jacques '02 (for example). The palate is medium-bodied with touches of orange peel and bell pepper infusing the black fruit. It is nicely balanced, although you feel that a couple more years in bottle will do this no harm at all. Very fine.’ - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 91+/100 (April 2015)
‘From the south of the village, this wine is rather paler and lighter on the palate with lots of jewel-like fruit. Racy but a lighter style of burgundy – for drinking with white meat?’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Aug 2007)
