Neal Martin, December 2014, Score: 88-90
The 2013 Morey Saint Denis Clos Solon, which was taken from two casks and will include around 20% new oak, has a fragrant, lightly candied bouquet with touches of orange sorbert and strawberry shortcake. The palate is medium-bodied, tightly wound, with a slight reduction toward the finish, a slight powdery texture on the finish. Fine. Drink: 2016 - 2025

Burghound, January 2015, Score: 88-91
(from .55 ha parcel planted in 1961). A ripe and very fresh mix of red berries, warm earth and soft tea nuances leads to relatively full-bodied and delicious middle weight flavors that possess a suave and round mouth feel, all wrapped in a balanced and lingering finish. This is not especially complex at present yet the underlying material is present such that more will almost certainly develop. Drink 2019+

Sarah Marsh, November 2014, Score: 16
Sweet fruit, purple with a note of white pepper. Fresh acidity with light tannin structure. Light bodied and pure and fresh. Very pretty, with some bite at the end. Score 16. From 2017/8

Domaine Fourrier
Jean-Marie Fourrier took over his family domaine in 1994 and has attacked every vintage with dynamic determination and ambition, building the reputation of the estate with astute viticulture and fanatical winemaking. He had learned from the best, most notably the late Henri Jayer of Vosne Romanée and Domaine Drouhin in the Willamette Valley in Oregon with whom he did his formative training. He is a keen participant in the growing trend towards minimal intervention in the vineyard and winery. The domaine has a remarkable array of very old vines, many having been planted between the wars. The Fourrier wines are pure and balanced.Region
Morey Saint Denis
Morey St. Dénis often suffers from an identity crisis. They are more fruit forward than the wines of Gevrey Chambertin, yet more structured than those of Chambolle Musigny. It seems in this sensethat they are like middle children, always wanting to please yet not standing out as the noisy one or the notably quiet one. They are however crowd pleasers and for those who feel that Gevreys are too muscular and Chambolles too feminine; Moreys seem just right, offering velvety tannins and tangible fruit. The village offers five grand cru vineyards including Clos de la Roche, Clos St. Dénis and Clos des Lambrays which nonetheless can rival those of neighbouring villages in terms of quality (some even view them as the best in the Côte de Nuits) and various premier cru vineyards.
