First of 12x from secondary market before prices gone nuts, good old days when a case actually means 12. A cuvée I don’t buy frequently enough as I am super long on the GC VV. PnP. ABV 13%. Explosive floral nose, nose is very Fourrier like. Mostly flower notes with some dark soils and oaks lurking underneath. Sweet and smooth on the entry, lively with vibrant acidity of the vintage, soft and fine tannins, a tad spicy at finish. Good length and complexity for a village in a variable vintage. Just like ‘07, Fourrier hits out of ball park on these lean vintages, this is a very well made wine especially for ‘11. Still showing mostly Fourrier rather than Gevrey Chambertin. Ready to go and will last. In the good old days, I probably could drink the whole bottle by myself very quickly…yay…it’s nice and easy to drink.

Absolutely phenomenal. This was in such a perfect place today. Rich and broad with pure red fruit and just a hint of dried herbs. Honestly this was polished off so fast among 6 of us. It was one of the best 2011s I've had and it makes me believe that the vintage is mostly ready to drink now. Fabulous!
Just beautiful. See prior notes. Excellent on PNP, no decant needed. Iron and blood on the nose. Weightless palate that does deepen with some hours of air.

Pretty super wine. Very pale brick. There is that sinewy nose that top tier burgundy often displays. Very pure red berry fruit on the nose (strawberry). Light body with old vine flavor depth. Pretty terrific village wine. I think it will be at its best over the next five years but will hold for quite a while. (91)

Ready to go, but no rush. Medium concentration on a lighter frame. Red savory and primary cherry/raspberry fruit with nice tertiary earth coming in. Can be drunk a little cool on these hot summer nights. Really liked it, but don't like the $140 current tariff. Wine had been stood up for a few weeks, but still had fine sediment caught in a coffee filter. 92+

Night at new dark secret place. Thick wax seal removed by sommelier. Poured out a bit to smell - amazing. Did the "Fourrier shake" to the bottle myself and then served. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of fragrant earth - loam and gravel, hung animal meats, perfumed floral bush, dark red cherries, red plums, slight chocolate. A melange of incredibly lovely scents really. Developing. On the palate, dry, bright high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), fine medium tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with forward flavours of crunchy stones minerality, loamy earth, meat, bright red cherries, ripe red plums, some toasty chocolate, bits of cola. Long finish. Damm good quality. This was performing like some super-charged Premier Cru. Such lovely drinking. Will continue to develop over the next 4-5 years. I don't see this needing much more ageing beyond that. This plot is located just below Clos des Ormes and south of Charmes-Chambertin.
Lovely spicey nose with red fruit. Not very intense but very elegant and lean. Light bodied with beautiful balance and fine tannin and good acidity. Overall very appealing but I had expected more.

Pop n'pour. Starter med ganske mørk frukt og en barnål/mint-aktig tone. Med luft blir aromabildet lysere og frukten rødere. Litt candy, kirsebær og hint av krydder. Barnålen borte - Minten blir. Ikke supersexy, men en pen nese er det definitivt. Ganske moden frukt i munn. Bra trøkk i konsentrasjonen men er samtidig smidig. Skulle kanskje ønske noe mer spenst og friskhet. Fine, men bestemte tanniner som gir den struktur i utgangen. Lang finish. Nesen sier "vent litt" munnen sier "drikk nå". Flott vin, om enn ikke den råeste Fourrier på markedet. 89p+

Supremely delicious crunchy red fruit, with none of the green element from the 11 G-C VV. Fresh and almost mouthwatering, with excellent depth on the nose. This is easily one of the best young villages that I have tasted.

Lovely perfume again - more dark fruited than the Chambolle. Very lovely; quite crystalline and delicate. Lovely broad velvety fruits on the palate. Feminine Gevrey. Quite long. 89-91

Opened up in the glass over the course of an hour. Smoke, soil, sweet cherry fruit. A delicately fruited, elegant and exquisitely balanced wine. The elegantly sweet fruit makes me give the nod to this bottling over the G-C VV. Delicious, and don't know why I'd cellar my remaining 3 bottles, given how good this is now.

2011 Domaine Roulot & Fourrier: On the nose the Gevrey-Chambertin was complex, with dark berries, black cherries, espresso, and dark soil tones. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, with a sappy core of ripe fruit, fine tannins and excellent length. So easy to drink a delicious Aux Echezeaux!

Beautifully perfumed, wafting and ethereal nose that reminds me of cherry Coke... :-)
Palate shows spice and brambles with a very persistent finish. Finely integrated tannins that prickle the tongue. Wow!

Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Echezeaux 2011.
En av de renere 11, men ikke helt topp her heller.
Brukbar vin. 88-89p

Lovely red fruits with some nicely resolved tannins on the back end. In a great place. No hint of the 2011 greenness.

Yeh, stunning Gevrey village. Spicy, intense and elegante. And, as expected, none of that 2011 greenness.

A bit fruity at first but settles down and finishes with good mineral note. Lighter / more refined than the regular village bottling ?
