Vinous (93-96)Bright, deep red. Reticent but highly complex scents of raspberry, rose petal, white pepper, red licorice and mint. At once silky and sharply delineated, conveying outstanding intensity without any undue weight. Utterly seamless Chambertin if a bit youthfully linear today. The very long, rising finish is lightly saline and classically dry. Fourrier told me he has no plans to produce more than 30% as much négociant wine as domain wine in future years. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (96-98)This is a blend of Chambertin itself (two-thirds) and one third Clos de Bèze. Glowing imperial crimson purple. The nose has it all, clearly all the nobility it should have. The crunchy mineral tension found throughout the Fourrier wines pays dividends here. There is exceptional intensity but it is beautifully judged. Some liquorice notes but above all an amazing intensity of fruit which lingers long. |

Dense, broad and energetic, with a captivating subtle sweetness to the red berry and mineral flavors. Really saturates the palate and builds on the back end, finishing with noble, fine-grained tannins. Fourrier uses the same percentage of new oak to age his négociant and domain wines--around 20%. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (94-96)The 2023 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru showed a little reduction on the nose, though there is unequivocally more mineralité than the Les Charmes. The palate is taut, fresh and quite linear, but as it moves through to the second half the quality shines through with perfectly pitched acidity and life-affirming mineralité. This cuvée was tasted twice on two different visits and my assessment is based on the second, which was far superior. |
