August 19, 2020 - Gorgeous, soft, resolved Gevrey. Red fruit, high acid, but balanced by the soft texture.
May 3, 2020 - Brown, mellow, sappy, a sweet core; lovely resolved Gevrey, though age seems to make these Fourriers less distinctive.
February 13, 2017 - This time around nice blackberry and spice notes. Tannins still there so could use some time but there is the razors edge of the fruit falling off and the tannins taking over. In a nice place nowl.
October 15, 2015 - Smooth, hints at depth, but not saying much right now.
September 17, 2015 - Would never have picked this as a Fourrier. Reticent, brooding, malty - not unlike the early 90s Pousse d'Ors. It plumped up in the glass. Grander than a villages. Promising.
May 13, 2015 - Morel Dinner with Big Red & White Burgs and Champagne (L'Etoille du Nord, Bayport, MN): Dark red color. PNP, drank 1 glass over 2+ hours. The nose offers plenty of red fruits of raspberry and strawberry, sweet tart. the palate is red sweet tarts, spice, tangy, good tannic structure, ripe and tart, red fruits. A bit lost in the shuffle, this is a delightful wine.
May 11, 2014 - Not quite as good as it was three weeks ago. Good mature Gevrey, but it lacked the sweet twinkle in the middle that the previous bottle had.
April 25, 2014 - Pure, sappy, red fruited, lovely sweet middle, round and persistent, quite delightful. Late 90s Fourriers often taste older than their years, but not this which retains a youthful prettiness
December 23, 2012 - Plush, meaty, savoury, an earthy tone (verging on musty), but the fruit's so ripe, it doesn't matter. High acid. Seems oaky, like a rioja. In the glass it broadens out, the fruit becomes softer and redder.
May 22, 2011 - Not much nose to start with, and what there was had a touch of mustiness, but the palate was bright and red fruited, high acid. In the glass the musty tone diminished then disappeared, the fruit got brighter and brighter, the sap rose, ended up glorious
