2022 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey Chambertin Vielles Vignes
Quintessential Fourrier with lovely noise of red currants, crunchy red fruits on the palate, and a lovely elegant finish. Not too complex but incredibly delicious.
2022 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey Chambertin 1er Les Combe aux Moines
This takes things up a notch with more robust fruit and aromatics, adding a bit more earthiness on the nose and palate. There’s a bit more of a mineral streak here. Not quite as friendly as the VV and likely needs more time. The finish is significant longer and I think the most significant characteristic is freshness.
2022 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey Chambertin 1er Les Goulots
A bit more fruit here compared to the Goulots, with a little less minerality and a bit more immediately accessible, with a bit less tension. The palate again had the beautiful pure pretty fruits, but a little less precision. Finish was desultory yet charming.
2022 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey Chambertin 1er Clos St Jacques
Another step up in depth, density, concentration and complexity, the CSJ had joyous red cherries, abundant earth and forest floor on the nose. So fresh and clean on the palate. This was pretty tight initially although on a revisit later that morning it was a bit more accessible. The finish was super long.
