January 23, 2024 - This was lovely with largely red fruit, mushroom, earth, and a touch of baking spice. Dark red in color and slightly hazy.

May 9, 2022 - Resolved but can go several years yet. Lovely and aromatic, medium weight, bright. Acidity provides good cut; not lean, rather decidedly middle weight. Overall a delicious if not profound bottle of wine in a good place.

December 30, 2021 - Magnum Society 2005 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin tasting (Hataitai, Wellington, NZ): The Fourrier Villages wine was sourced from three hectares of vines in the Champerrier du Dessus lieu-dit parcel in northern Gevrey-Chambertin on the border of Brochon. It was purchased by Jean-Marie’s grandfather Joseph Baudot in 1928. The vines were planted between 1928 and 1955, and, as is common for most if not all Fourrier vines, trained in Guyot. It is understood this cuvée only saw neutral barriques.
Evolved garnet colour. A quintessentially Fourrier Gevrey nose. Red berries and cherries, chalk and warm earth. Also development on bouquet, some dried and preserved red fruits, dry brush and dried herbs. On palate, precision and vibrant acidity. Decent concentration and power. Relatively complex for the level and the most advanced of the wines. Still drinking well but perhaps at its best over the next five years. Fresh and dried raspberries, cherries and some plums. Integrated, fine tannins. Paired well with the food. I view the Gevrey Villages as Domaine Fourrier’s “calling card” – speaking to what Domaine Fourrier is all about – in the case of 2005 it’s a very good calling card.

December 18, 2021 - This is drinking quite nicely. The structure is well resolved but in no danger of falling apart; this still seems to have upside. Bright cherry notes that recede with time to reveal more savory elements. Spice, game and minerals dance on the palate. Juicy, crisp and long.
