Fourrier wines may be sourced from Fourrier own vineyard (domaine) or from negoce (Jean-Marie).
Producer tasting notes: "Because of its location, it is a more tender and elegant wine, less tannic and more silky than the other Gevrey village wine produced at the domaine. Compared to the more powerful and earthier Gevrey-Chambertin Vieille Vigne, this wine shows the elegance and restraint typical of wines from the southern edge of the appellation." - Domaine Fourrier
