Fourrier, Vougeot Premier Cru, Les Petits Vougeots

Vinum event. Matthew says this is usually lumped into tasting with other Chambolles. Ripe fruit but still a bit of dryness on palate. Slight orange rind, iron. Med body. More violet perfume after an hour in glass.

2022 vintage

Nose: earth, red fruits, musk, melon, cola Notes: 13.5% ABV. Unfortunately this is nowhere near the finesse I expected from Fourrier and it's perhaps still a little overwhelming. The fruits are quite apparent but there's also some Gamay like aroma on the nose which is a little in this particular setup. One might argue this is a little young still but I feel this is simply the sign that the wine is not so balanced. 2008 is also quite a …

2008 vintage

Drinkable, but seemed a but stewy and compact. Disappointing relative to my expectation, but the wine has never shown well from this lot. Guessing a bottle issue.

2008 vintage

Good with with BBQ (Schur House - Riverwoods IL) : Slightly muddy, maybe slightly heat damaged, but I don’t hate it.

2008 vintage

An off bottle, muted and seemingly stripped of fruit, just lackluster with a tinny note on the front of the tongue.

2008 vintage

Gereiftes Rubin, deutlich Trübstoff. Gereifte Nase, etwas Waldboden, reife, rote Frucht, warm anmutend. Im Gaumen mit deutlicher Reife, die Säure ist zupackend, sehr markant, knackig, rotfruchtig, jedoch nicht so lang anhaltend wie in grossen Jahren. Trinken.

Planning Session III (Chloe by Vincent, Mpls) : Murky medium dark red color. Drank a glass over an hour plus. Tart cherry, cranberry, murky, tobacco leaf, becomes more earthy with air, great Gevrey spice notes emerge, deep, fairly intense with more acidity. I do get a touch of brown sugar on the nose after an hour or so. 92+pts.

2008 vintage

Another good vintage of Fourrier Combe aux Moines, my favorite wine in Fourrier’s lineup. Currently batting #2 in my regular lineup, so happened to be the regular batting order of Shohei Ohtani.

C & YM Birthday Dinner (Empire Chinese Cuisine) : 3 hrs after pouring to Voss bottle. Alluring aroma of potpourri, blueberry, cold fruits, on the palate a little weak after the stunning bouquet. Full dry and coarse tannins with high acid. Give additional points for the beautiful nose but sadly the palate did not match up. Needs a few more years of age.

2008 vintage

Birthday celebration for C/Y : Fourrier is one producer that has such a strong imprint that it’s possible to call blind - said that this was a ‘06 or ‘08 Fourrier Gevrey. A little of the ‘08 screechy acid but with the lifted fruit signature and spice of Fourrier. A little astringent, didn’t have the energy and delineation of the best vintages, but still very enjoyable.

Nick's 2008 Burgundy - Noize (Noizé, London) : 1/12. Nose shows pure red fruit - satrwberries, floral notes, touch of spice. Medium bodied, fresh and vibrant, spice, touch of savour, some grip on the good length finish. Excellent, certainly drinking.

2008 vintage

2008 red Burgs (Noize) : Flamboyant and a bit heady on the nose, with an exotic feel, fresh red fruit and some orange rind and rose... it smelled pretty great. Then more '2008' on the palate, which was sharp and lithe, with the flavour of cough sweets and a slightly tight and astringent side.

2008 vintage

Excellent aromas of ripe red berry fruits with a good earthy element. On the palate very tart and citric that overwhelms any nuance and clashes hard against the impressive underlying fruit qualities. Based on other notes here wonder if this is just a weird bottle. At best, this still needs time to integrate as unpleasant today. Admittedly, this was popped and poured. Will cork it, fridge it & try again tomorrow.

2008 vintage

A year since we had this last (Papies 91) and indeed has Improved and on top of that we decided to decant which definitely helped opening up the wine. Still this has a few more years before reaching full capacity. Very elegant wine, properly well made according to the pedigree, firm but also with a soft feel, red fruited, soft smoky edge light spice. What Proper red Burgundy needs to be . We have one last bottle and this we …

2008 vintage

醒酒半个多小时，淡宝石红色，闻香有木质香气，樱桃草莓一类的红果，奶油味，入口酸度很高，非常线性，酒液很咸，湿石头的矿物感，单宁细腻如粉，口感如浓缩山楂汁一般，中后段还没完全打开，有点闷，余味是红果和奶油味。一款质量很高的很皮诺，风格传统，口感很扎实，酒的结构不小，完全没醒开，没能一睹它的最佳风采，状态全开的话应该会很不错。

2008 vintage

Opened and served. Andreas who had this blind went originally for a fresh 10yr old Syrah from Rhone valley , guessing from our inventory this was the 2007 St Joseph from Chave. Such was the spice in this ! Fresh and felt really cool climate , soft too but quite the fresh and youthful wine . Definitely a good amount of oak albeit not toasty , was used here and the wine albeit good felt a touch one dimensional and …

SLDS December 21 : Violets, smoke, red berries. Red fruit profile but it ends up a bit tough with an acid hardness taking the focus. Might improve, might not.

2008 vintage

Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin Combe Aux Moines 2008 Absolutt drikkbar, men Ikke helt korrekt flaske. Lite frukt og mye syre.

Quitenssential Burgundy

2008 vintage

High-toned and tart cranberry/cherry. Thin and very high acid.

2008 vintage

A wine we feel rocks between 92-93 and is in a very pretty state and full of elegance and charm at this stage. This time we had it o the back of the 99 Serafin CC ( Papies 95) and thus showed a much younger and bright fruit side . Still very polished and round and really at the start of its drinking window and with a lot of charm to come for those patient enough. 92-93

2008 vintage

Do not decant. Sings when pnp'ed.

2008 vintage

Even better than the bottle we had 2 weeks ago ( Papies 92). This is what burgundy dreams are made of if a way, elegant, lovely dark edge to the fruit, soft spice and smoky but above all very elegant and with a persistence on the palate. Very very good and with lots of life ahead , frankly this has just entered its drinking window. 93

2008 vintage

At the start of its drinking window albeit well within it and these 2008s feel even more approachable than his 2007s. Softer and elegant very much welcoming and subtle. Soft red fruit with an undertone of Gevrey dark and smoky edge but really now what rules the show is a soft red fruit soft spice and quite a savory wine. Very solid 92 for now but with lots of future here

2008 vintage

Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Combes aux Moines Tasting (House of Nanda - Chicago IL) : In 14/13/08/01/96 vertical. So much black cherry with savory spice, roasted meat, finishing with black pepper and allspice. Very good weight and balance. Much better, accessible vs another bottle from earlier this year. Very good now, with upside.

2008 vintage

96/01/08/13/14 Vertical. Star of the showing and a bottle that is in peak form. Fully, intense nose of red and black cherry with a prominent Gevrey meaty spice throughout. Refined, lacy cherry fruit that is perhaps a bit more Chambolle in texture. Long, flavorful finish.

2008 vintage

Rustic and one dimensional like most 2008 wines

2008 vintage

We can see what the purists like about 2008 and was even more pronounced here with a producer like Fourrier. More restrained on the fruit, firm, grippy, a touch more focussed. We liked the more linear side to the usual richness of Fourrier wines. Pretty solid wine although we do worry how this will age. 92 for now

2008 vintage

Rupert's Fourrier @ Medlar (The Medlar, London) : Again, quite red fruited. Quite polished and lifted. Again, nicely bright red fruit. Good acidity and line. Opens up to she very floral and fragrant with an almost lily of the valley scent. Easier than the Gruenchers and very drinkable at this stage. ****

2008 vintage

Another Fourrier Triple Horizontal (Medlar, Chelsea, London) : This one edgy too, some substance, more masculine

2008 vintage

Rupert's Fourrier Offline (The Medlar, Chelsea) : Red fruited, fresh and linear, tannins well intergrated, medium length finish. Good. ***

2008 vintage

La Paulée de New York Grand Tasting (Metropolitan Pavilion - New York NY) : Tasting, brief note. Raspberry and blackberry aromas with moderate weight, good minerality and a pristine finish.

La Paulee de NY - Grand Tasting (2008 Vintage) (Metropolitan Pavilion, NYC) : very acidic. medium raspberry fruit.
