January 31, 2021 - Earthy. Second bottle I ha e had and both very different. Opened for a good 7 hours and changed a lot over time. When first opened it was not drinkable. By hour 3 it was much better.
March 4, 2019 - Vibrant, cherry and blackberry fruit profile, lean, fragrant, a beauty
January 7, 2019 - A really lovely village. This has a lovely nose, full of bright red fruit, a kiss of herb, and earthy, spicy Morey accents. The palate was bright and lively, with orange citrus adicity running through lovely, pure, crunchy flavours of red cherries and berries laced with a fine, filigreed tannins structure. At the finish, a burst of citrus orange, a twist of bittersweet herb, and a nice flush of spice carried the wine into a long, full back-palate. Yummy, and drinking very well young.
September 4, 2017 - A private dinner (Restaurant Café Caron, Amsterdam, NL): From a 0.55ha parcel in the middle of the clos, old vines planted in 1961. Sweet fruit, juicy and rounded, spicy, forward and almost flashy but not oaky at all; tight and sinewy palate and finish. Not easy to assess, not very harmonious right now. Needs 2-4 years? Score is optimistic.
September 19, 2016 - Just great village wine from Fourrier. Bright red cherry fruit, gets better with 1-2 hours. Juicy tannins. I prefer his Morey over his gevrey village.
September 16, 2016 - Bright, mouth filling cherry fruit, multi-layered and deep, glorious
September 10, 2016 - Pale, vibrant, cherry and strawberry, with a touch of metal - no spritz, but fizzes with energy
July 9, 2016 - My only qualm with Fourrier is how expensive and hard to come by they've gotten in the last 5 years. What was $55-60 in 2011 is now $80 and makes the QPR a lot less compelling. But for me these are perfect Burgundies. This was no exception and puts many premier cru wines from other producers to shame. Such a fine boned, strawberry and rasberry-laced nose, and silky red fruits, loads of minerality and a good dose of acid (though less of that spritz than I've had in some other Fourrier village wines) on the palate. Actually quite structured. This was really singing, better on day 2, and has a long future ahead of it. For drinking now the 2011 had a slightly better showing, but less upside potential. 92-94
May 21, 2016 - Composite cork. Initially a bit reductive, but with 3-4 hours of air this is delightful. A whisper of astringent tannin on the backend but all luscious, kinky Fourrier spice and soft red fruits on the front. Still, it never reaches the level of appeal I find in his GC village.
May 3, 2016 - Lovely sweet red light fruits. Good village wine. A bit of acidity poking through. Nice with velvet tannins.
