Description
Domaine Fourrier's Vougeot Premier Cru ‘Les Petits Vougeots’ is a rare cuvée from a 34-acre parcel planted in 1955, situated at an altitude of 240 metres between the famous Grands Crus Clos de Vougeot and Musigny. This exceptional terroir, composed of limestone and marl soils, gives the Pinot Noir a unique expression, combining the richness of Echezeaux with the finesse of Vougeot. The vines, over 60 years old, produce grapes of remarkable concentration, reflecting the typical Burgundian climate.
After meticulous hand-picking, the grapes are carefully vinified, then the wine is matured for 18 months in oak barrels, bringing complexity and depth to the cuvée. On tasting, this Premier Cru reveals a deep ruby colour and a complex bouquet of ripe black fruit, such as blackberry and blackcurrant, with hints of sweet spices and a subtle minty minerality that becomes apparent on aeration. On the palate, the attack is full and balanced, with good density and marked sapidity. The fine but still firm tannins suggest great ageing potential, requiring a few years' rest to reach their peak. This wine can be fully appreciated after 2 to 5 years in the cellar, revealing all the complexity and elegance of its terroir of origin.
Domaine Fourrier's Vougeot Premier Cru ‘Les Petits Vougeots’ will win over lovers of great Burgundy wines with its depth, balance and ageing potential, bearing witness to the estate's exceptional expertise and the richness of this exceptional terroir.
