Gevrey-Chambertin Vieille Vigne 2024

Description

Domaine Fourrier’s Gevrey-Chambertin embodies all the excellence and authenticity of one of Burgundy’s most prestigious villages. Based in the heart of the appellation, Jean-Marie Fourrier is now recognized as one of the most talented winemakers in the Côte de Nuits, thanks to his meticulous winemaking techniques and deep respect for the terroir.

This cuvée is crafted from several carefully selected plots within the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation, some of which are planted with old vines capable of conveying the full richness and complexity of the terroir. Vineyard management prioritizes the vines’ natural balance to produce perfectly ripe grapes of great purity.

On the palate, Domaine Fourrier’s Gevrey-Chambertin reveals an intense bouquet of black cherry, raspberry, blackberry, and blackcurrant. With time and aeration, notes of violet, licorice, sweet spices, and forest floor enrich an already remarkable aromatic profile.

On the palate, it captivates with its density and elegance. The body is full-bodied without being excessive, supported by fine, perfectly integrated tannins. The wine’s natural freshness brings balance and precision, while the long, lingering finish reveals the full depth of the Gevrey-Chambertin terroir.

This Gevrey-Chambertin can be enjoyed in its youth after a brief aeration, but it also has excellent aging potential. Over the years, it will develop additional complexity while retaining its vibrancy and refinement. An iconic cuvée that perfectly exemplifies the pure, precise, and elegant style of Domaine Fourrier.
