  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.
