Fourrier makes aromatically great wines. A Gevrey producer making Chambolle smelling wines. A real richness to the nose but soars gloriously in that Burgundian way, finishes with citrus, liquorice, alluring, smoke, red fruit.

Drank alongside a 1996 Ponsot Clos de la Roche. I will take the pure red cherry Fourrier nose any day. Gorgeous on the nose, but didn't quite deliver on the palate. Slightly clipped and less generous than the Ponsot. Nevertheless, just quibbles...a gorgeous wine. Also paired very well with pintade.

I was expecting a lot of green notes and got nothing of the sort. Stunning nose of pure red cherry and a touch of earth. Good acidity, and just amazing purity of flavor on the palate. No tannin on the clean finish.

(Fourrier Griotte-Chambertin) Medium, medium-plus cherry red colour. Initially the nose is very tight with faint estery notes, slowly going deeper and a little spicy - eventually this becomes plusher, more red and with quite creamy sweet oak. The fruit is quite high-toned in the mouth, with well-covered tannin. There's a fantastic length on display - even longer than wine de Vogèé's 01 Musigny - there's also quite a lot of oak on display but it's not in the slightest 'untasty' and quite creamy.

Acker "Paulee" Burgundy Dinner (Capital Seafood - Beverly Hills CA): Paulée style dinner. Tasty for the problematic vintage, but not what we want from Grand Cru. Lighter style.

Filippo's Fourrier Dinner (La Trompette, Chiswick): Medium/deep garnet. Dark, meaty fruit, spice, touch of white pepper. Medium/full bodied, complex dark fruit, spice, meaty notes, firm tannins, long finish. Serious wine, should improve. ***(*1/2)
