Fourrier, Gevrey-Chambertin, Aux Echezeaux

Fried egg, bacon fat, floral notes as first then transition to beautiful rose petal, light cherry, almost a sharp cherry ice or sherbet. Just wild characteristics. Blood, powerful. Beautiful wine.

2013 vintage

This is fresher and brighter than the fully matured 2007. Crisp, red fruited, lovely. Reminded me of 2013 Roumier Cras. Elegant, silky tannin with soft grip, mocha, juicy, long, powerful yet elegant. Lovely.

2013 vintage

Bloody, iron, metallic, black tea, earthy, bright, lots of red fresh fruits. Good acidity, smooth tannins, Long finishing

Wow, I loved this. It’s easily the best Burgundy of this year. One of only two bottles… this was beautifully dark red fruited, mostly dark red cherry, with iron traits and bauxite thoughts. I loved it for its richness and weightlessness. It had a lovely spice component, Vosne-like almost, Christmas spice and clay road petrichor. This had a great mouthfeel, poise and balance. I would love to find a few more of these!

2013 vintage

Nose: earthy, candy, fresh cherry, red fruits, smoke, raspberry, tea leaves, mung beans Notes: Tasted blind and after a few rounds of guessing we confirmed this to be a Fourrier but I didn't catch Clos Saint Jacques before the label was revealed but what a nose this Fourrier is offering! With a good mix of fresh cherry and earthy notes this surely is a very elegant and relatively feminine Fourrier. Palate is well balanced and perhaps a little mature for …

Such a nice surprise for a Fourrier when it was served in blind. It was ethereal and weightless with pure red and purple fruit. The lightness indicated the weaker vintage but I was astounded by the purity.

Drank at 67 light cherry, fresh and acidic

2013 vintage

Night and day difference in showing from this bottle in March. In hindsight, I think the last one may have had travel shock. Tonight, 2013 CSJ coming from 100+ year old vines is superb after a lengthy slow ox, soaring from the glass with crazy aromatic intensity showing a delicate oak framed red and blue fruited profile with winter citrus, cocoa bean and red roses. The palate shows Grand Cru depth, stunning elegance and purity with fine grained tannins and …

Once again solid showing. This is light flowing with red berries. Left half the bottle open in the cooler for the next day and showed equally as well. Terrific wine. Don’t get the comments about vintage here. If you expect a village wine, you are getting a good one here.

2013 vintage

Well well well. Certainly not like Rousseau and Dujac 13’s. (Plenty of others drinking great too). Fourrier’s 2013 CSJ is tight as a drum, totally shut down and offers nothing even after 3+ hours in the decanter. Reductive, acidic and short. I guess you cannot win them all!

2013 vintage

Very enjoyable. Wife loved it. A simple wine. Light fresh red berries with some structure and silky tannins. The crowd here seems to be overly tough on this one. That said, I think it’s price driven. If this was under $100, people would rave but at the current price it’s a little tougher to get excited.

2013 vintage

Slow ox for 4 hours then back to the fridge to chill. Super ready for Fourrier. Superb floral nose, cool blue fruit at its core, juicy, lots of spice, refreshing vintage acidity perfectly balanced. Palate is sweet, edgeless and substantial; there is real drive in this wine. Yum. Split with Rayas 2005 as WOTN. 94

2013 vintage

Even Fourrier can't overcome the vintage. Started off w promising intensity of wild strawberries and cream but couldn't hold up w air. Just got more pedestrian and thinned out with time. Middle of road village level wine but prices are ambitious.

2013 vintage

Decanted for one hour. Some lavender and good minerality. But for some reason I didn't warm up to the wine that much and wasn't a huge fan despite it clearly being a very good pinot.

2013 vintage

Helt nydelig duft. Lukter høst i norsk fjellheim. Lyng og krekling. I munnen har vinen ganske muskuløs frukt som likevel preges av delikate aromaer. Tanninene er dessverre noe grønne og undermodne. God lengde, men finish blir vel bitter og trå. En ikke helt optimal flaske? Fortjener likevel 92p, spesielt for sin utsøkte nese.

2013 vintage

Soft, muddy maroon in color. Warm, warm hotter spice, earth, and dark red fruits in the nose. Easy drinking with still active tannins on the palate. Simple but beautiful bourgougne rouge! Enjoy.

2013 vintage

Bright, with typical Fourrier fruit but with some lovely Clos St. Jacques darker fruit elements on the palate. No rush to drink this, but no harm in it either.

2013 vintage

La Paulée de New York - The Verticals (Eventi Hotel - New York NY) : Walk around tasting in 13/11/09 vertical. Black berry and cherry with both lean and sweet characteristics and delicate spice. Good weight, great balance, finishes with sneaky good length and power. Getting close to its drinking window, 92-94 point potential, 2023 forward.

2013 vintage

The Verticals Tasting at 2020 La Paulée de New York (Eventi Hotel, New York) : Gorgeous round, light but sappy, supple, deliciously spicy wine with a fine vein of soil and delightful citrus zest to add lift. Outstanding vintage of this standout wine.

2013 vintage

Tasted blind and the high toast new oak, sleek and complex earthy dark fruits with 1er Cru weight suggest Fourrier Clos St Jacques. Fourrier wines are aged in high toast new oak, giving the wines good lift and spices. Sexy high toast spices, inner floral note and sleek minerals that reminds me of the cooler climate Premier Crus in Gevrey Chambertin, knocking on GC doors. Gevrey Chambertin Clos St Jacques? Fourrier? 2012? (92/100)

2013 vintage

Limited notes while having dinner at Bistrot d’Hotel in Beaune. Had a really lovely nose with some floral potpourri and sweet red fruit, moderate acidity with fresh red/black fruit and a little spice - would have liked a touch more tanins for a better finish.

2013 vintage

Quite typical of the producer, forward fruit and stem influence, alongside violet and soil tones. All finesse on the palate, softly textured with well-delineated flavors of dark fruit and minerals. The 2013 Clos St Jacques is excellent today but of course one needs to cellar these for the long haul. Best starting 2024.

2013 vintage

Acker April Auction 2019 (sad day) (Marea) : Juicy green fruit, slightly acidic but with length. 90

2013 vintage

Leiden last event in 2018 : Gorgeous red fruit nose and taste, lots of structure and concentration. Typical elegant Fourrier wine.

2013 vintage

Beautiful red fruits, sappy extract meets freshness with an herbal edge. Fine grained tannins, silky/satiny texture. Was a little surprising, as I often find Fourrier a little sweet for my tastes, but here there's an extra lick of freshness and power on the back. Delicious and compelling.

2013 vintage

Some Wine Tasted at the Zachys La Paulée Auction (Mourad - San Francisco CA) : Small glass, brief note. Elegant black and red cherry with good+ weight, excellent textures. Very good already, but probably better from 2020.

2013 vintage

Tasted Blind. No decanting. Guess 2008 Gevrey of high caliber. Interestingly enough we had this one month ago (Papies 93). Once again a solid wine thta we are only getting a glimpse now. Bright red fruit, light smoky side, good depth of fruit but just about ripe enough. Very solid again. 93

2013 vintage

Bright, brambly, red fruit. So fresh and young at this stage but still a joy to be had. Good density of fruit, very much primary still, well assimilated oak. We got a glimpse of what this wine coudl offer in the future but not unhappy at all we had this so young. Very solid. 92-93 for now lots of future though and potential we believe/felt.

2013 vintage

Dinner with JM Fourrier. Relatively closed, but can smell and taste the Gevrey character. Nice minerality and opened up with time in glass, developing pleasant acetate aromas.

2013 vintage

Clos Saint Jacques Perspective (Chez Gilberto) : Cool, compact red fruit with a tight, precise structure. A subtly sauvage, animal note. The wine opens after a few hours and gains in intensity of the red fruit. Fourrier's house signature stands out in the purity, the elegance and the directness of this wine.

2013 vintage

3 Clos St. Jacques and 3 Rousseau's + 1 Dujac = 6 wines tasted blind : N. 1 Very elegant, green note, floral too. A hint of citrus fruit. Dense at first, it gets lighter on the midpalate and finishes on blood orange notes. Saline on the very long finish. Very nice. Me: 1.5 Group: 8.5 Retasted over three more days, this showed more clearly a green streak on the nose, reminding of geranium - not very nice, but it …

2013 vintage

Still restrained nose of strawberry and raspberry with faint spice in the background. Lovely balance. Rich but not heavy.

2013 vintage

SLDS September 2016 : Graphite, cherry, earth and spice. Palate has plenty of earthy fruit and good structure. Feels really well composed. Balanced and young, with potential for plenty more.

2013 vintage

Took this a while to start to taste like a Burgundy. A while longer to start to show itself as a Fourrier. Started out as a dead-ringer for a young OR pinot. A little bit of white pepper, and some noticeable tannins initially. Eventually rounds out to a quite fruity and delicious Burgundy of decent complexity. This one was opened in the name of science; wait at least three years before diving in again.

2013 vintage

What a lovely and quite approachable wine. Bright red color and beautuful nose. Cherries, strawberries and good portion of sous bois, liquorice, and vanilla. Medium and tasty tannins. Quite enjoyable now even though young.
