2018 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin

The domaine’s largest cuvee, and what they consider their flagship bottling. It comes from 12 different old vine parcels totalling 3 hectares, which is a third of their total land under vine. The various parcels also come from 3 very different soils types: sand, chalk and clay. Beautiful definition (clearer, for instance, than the Clos Solon) with plum and red cherry, and lifted by a lovely freshness. There is also a big finish which seems to spread right back through the mouth. (NT 09/01/20)
