Domaine Fourrier's Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru ‘Les Gruenchers’ is a jewel of the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy. This 34-acre parcel, planted in 1955, is ideally situated between two prestigious grands crus, benefiting from a remarkable exposure that favours optimal ripening of the Pinot Noir grape. The slightly heavier, less chalky clay soils give this wine a density and texture superior to the average of the local crus.
The wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, adding a notable aromatic complexity. On opening, the nose reveals deep aromas of ripe black fruit, accompanied by sweet spices and a subtle minty mineral note. On the palate, the balance is striking, combining richness and finesse with a dense, sapid structure. The tannins, though fine, are still somewhat firm, suggesting that this wine will gain in elegance with a further two years' rest in the cellar. This 1er Cru ‘Les Gruenchers’ is a perfect illustration of Domaine Fourrier's expertise, offering an authentic and profound expression of the Chambolle-Musigny terroir.
