Winemaker Notes

The Griotte Chambertin is the sole Grand Cru holding in the Fourrier domaine. Within "Griotte," which is rather small in size, Fourrier owns about one-quarter hectare. The vines were planted in 1928. Production is always rather limited. The "Griotte" is a sublimely elegant wine without the rough, "sauvage" edges of much of Gevrey's terroir.

Professional Ratings

    The 2011 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru is blessed with a sublime bouquet of intense red currant, fresh strawberry and rose petal aromas that display exquisite delineation and positively blossoms in the glass. The palate has a satin-like entry underpinned by filigree tannins that render this Griotte feminine, elegant and graceful with fabulous focus. This is simply exquisite. Drink 2014-2030.

    Medium depth of ruby, showing a slight volatility at first, but that soon gives way to a magically subtle red fruit and floral sidenotes. A fine full deep cherry on the palate, more robust than the bouquet, with good length and adequate acidity. Notably greater intensity arrives with time in the glass. The initial volatility just takes the edge off, but this may yet develop even more favorably.

The Domaine Fourrier (previously known as Pernot-Fourrier) has a long history in Gevrey Chambertin extending over four generations. The estate was founded by Fernand Pernot during the 1930s and 1940s. Unmarried and childless, he enlisted the aid of his nephew, Jean-Claude Fourrier, who then took the reins of the domaine in 1969. One of the first domains to actually export its wine to the USA, it is also one of the most well-endowed estates in the village with holdings throughout the most heralded appellations. Having weathered a period of eclipse through the latter part of the 1980s, the domain was re-energized in 1994 upon the arrival of Jean-Marie Fourrier, son of Jean-Claude. Jean-Marie burst on the Burgundian scene by wisely combining the traditions of his father and uncle (using, for example, vines of a minimum 30 years of age for the estate bottlings), his experience gained while working with Henri Jayer and the Domaine Drouhin (in Oregon), and his own clear sense of style. Ever since his ascension, the wines of Domaine Fourrier have garnered critical acclaim. He now works the domaine with the assistance of his sister, Isabelle, and his wife, Vicki.
