Burghound, January 2015, Score: 90-92
(from a .34 ha parcel). An ultra-elegant nose offers up notes of essence of both red and dark pinot fruit with lovely background nuances of spice, floral and wet stone. There is a cool and restrained mouth feel to the beautifully well-detailed medium-bodied flavors where the sense of refinement continues onto the impeccably well balanced and persistent finale. A classic Petits Vougeot that is more Chambolle than Vougeot. Drink 2019+

Sarah Marsh, November 2014, Score: 17.95
Very scented. Satin-smooth onto the palate; smooth and ripping. Gently rounded. There is seductive sweetness in the mid palate. Combining ripeness, and a red petal delicacy. Sweet and fine and fresh on the finish. Score 17.95. From 2018

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.Read less
Region
Vougeot
Unlike the other predominant Côte de Nuits appellations, Vougeot's main appellation is its onlygrand cru vineyard, Clos de Vougeot. It is by far the largest grand cru of the area totalling over 50 hectares with over 40 owners rumoured to own vines. As a result, its vineyards run from the flat, clay-dominated valley floor to the well-drained, venerated sloped hillsides suggesting that its quality ending on where it is grown. As a result, it is often the least valued of the grand crus and can offer excellent value, particularly in good vintages where ripeness has been attained.
