Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 22, 2022 - Tasting with old (and one new) friends (Kitchener, Ontario): My first experience tasting Fourrier. This pours very light ruby in the glass. On initial pop the nose shows a fair bit of reduction, but that does dissipate. Over time a lightly carbonic, fruit forward profile emerges of light cherry, ripe raspberry, red currant, dry soil, and a lightly meaty character that is very Gevrey. The palate is light and structured showing bright red, lightly sour fruit, with medium minus tannin and medium acid. The finish does linger nicely. All in all this is quite young but I do expect positive development will happen. I believe this producer destems but still ferments whole berries. If true, this wine really speaks to that style. Really no spice to speak of, but bright red fruit and some meat. A good bottle but it doesn't totally convince me of the fourrier hype.
