Some reduction on the nose blows off quickly to reveal lovely, slightly liqueur-like, strawberry fruit and Chambolle floral notes. As with many Fourrier wines, I might instinctively call this stemmy, but I know that Fourrier destems. Palate is sweet and extremely ripe but without feeling heavy or flabby. Fruity and a touch earthy with medium alcohol and acidity. Very accessible now but will probably become more subtle and sophisticated with a few more years as the fruit mellows.

Not a ton of experience with Fourrier but I now see what the hype is all about. Beautiful fragrance and impeccable balance for a village level wine. Soy, ginger, and red fruit on the nose. A touch thin mid palate, vibrant acidity and a very impressive finish for a village. 2010 continue to get better and is quickly becoming one of my favorites over the last 20 years.

Burdgundy village wines from top producers (East Treasure, Clarke Quay, Singapore): Nice, but this spoke more of Fourrier than Chambolle - something I have found in many of his Chambolle wines in the past. The nose had that sesame and soy thing, and a bit of cola, and then earth, spice and dried flowers - all very Fourrier. The palate was really nice. Bright and high-toned, and full of delicious sweet red fruit dancing about a core of flowers and earth, and a just that kiss of spice. All this was speared through with a structure of bright acidity and beautiful fine tannins. So very yummy, with that pure, transparent feel that I really like from Fourrier. This had more than enough weight as well given the vintage. A lovely wine that should give a lot of pleasure over the next 5-10 years.

Dark fruits and flowers on a developing nose. Full palate redolent with tart cherry and a touch of herb. Amazing fruit notes. Finish long and slightly astringent. Good acid balance. This is not a pretty wine, it is a full throttled lovely wine though that works very well with food and is also a pleasure by itself. Hoping for a bit more elegance to go with the power as it develops.

Drank it over two days. The first day - a lot of darker berries/ cherries on both nose and palate, deeper style of Chambolle which was not very Fourrier-like initially. Over 2 hours of opening, the wine gradually showed much more elegant / floral characters, and generous red fruits on the palate. The second day - I was impressed how it lasted, our friend immediately guessed it was 2010 Chambolle, pretty resilient on the second day with good fruits, gentle tannin and acidity.

The bottle was opened the night before. Clearly a 2010 red burg because of the power and depth. Very classic chambollle and less the fourrier house style was expressed tonight. Lovely minerality and length. The wine was consumed in only day 2. As a result, no score.

Starting to drink well. Still a bit tight after a decant. Nice nose, excellent fruit and balance. Seems to be headed for some elegance in a couple of years, right now the structure overshadows a bit.

Drinking very nicely after a one hour decant. Flowers and herbs on an expressive nose. Palate remains a but tight as the tannins have not fully resolved, But nice cherry and berry fruit, savory notes, with good acidity. Finish is medium one and clean. Really excellent village wine entering a nice place to drink.

Who snuck the Foillard into my Fourrier bottle? Seriously? (And then charged me double Kermit's rate...) I will be interested to see if this transforms with time. It is open and enjoyable now but a little simple and fruity, without the tension or depth I was hoping for.

Had alongside the Gevery Chambertin and what a wonderful contrast. They deffinately showed off thier villages. Here, flowery, perfumed, very pretty. Very young, the back end was a bit tight. I am sure it will ease in.

Chambolle Musigny Masterclass, with James Handford MW (Handford Wines, London): This is mostly young vines. Dark red in colour, denser and meatier. Quite a bit of weight for a village. The nose is restrained and light. Not a typical Chambolle wine. 87
