Lot 250 | Domaine Fourrier, Chambertin Vieille Vigne 2013
Estimate value
£ 2 000 – 3 000
Domaine Fourrier is a domaine in the Gevrey-Chambertin region of Burgundy. In 1994, having previously completed six month internships with Henri Jayer and Domaine Drouhin in Oregon, Jean-Marie Fourrier took over the domaine from his father Jean-Claude who had been working since the age of fourteen, on the death of his own father in 1961. Having taken over the Domaine, Jean-Marie increased the range of wines produced by bottling each of Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru separately rather than blending them. The vines in his vineyards are old, with most being planted between the wars. Once harvested, grapes are de-stemmed and are then given a 3 to 4 day maceration before fermentation starts. Skins are punched down frequently without any pumping over and after fermentation is complete, the vats are cooled down. All the wines are matured in 20% new oak and the wines are not racked at all until transferred to tank about two months before bottling in the spring, eighteen months after harvest. The results of all this meticulous work are exceptional wines, each of which shows a clear sense of place. The wines are bright in colour with very pure red fruit flavours on the nose.
