2009 CHAMBOLLE MUSIGNY JEAN-MARIE FOURRIER - 6x75cl

Tasting Notes

• 

  Goedhuis, January 2011

  Jean-Marie had racked this wine the morning of our tasting rendering the wine a bit closed and shy. Yet on the palate, it revealed nuances of its personality including a pretty core of plush fruit and a cleansing slather of fine-tuned minerality. A silky wine with depth.

  An ultra elegant, airy and cool red berry fruit nose that is very Chambolle in character leads to pure, detailed and mineral-inflected flavors that possess plenty of verve on the racy and delicious finish. I like the focus and underlying sense of tension.

Producer

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.
