Domaine Fourrier Wine Tasting - Exceptional

We were delighted to have an opportunity to taste some great wines from Domaine Fourrier.

The wines tasted were in short, outstanding and remarkably approachable now considering these were 2010 and 2011 vintages. The vines are approximately 60 years old I was informed and the quality was very evident.

First was the Gevrey Chambertin 2010. This was ruby light red, very earthy and combines excellence in structure and balance and light and smooth finish with red fruit - superb.


Price versus quality 18/20. Overall 18/20.


Next was the Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2011 - great nose, wonderful structure and is approachable now. It is deep, full of vibrant red fruit, dense, smooth with a mid length finish. Price versus quality 17/20. Overall 17/20.

The Echezeaux Grand Cru 2011 was superb. Again deep red and black fruit, slight spice in the nose, powerful with mild oak. This has a very long finish and is going to do very well with time I am sure.

Price versus quality 17/20. Overall 18/20.
