(Fourrier Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes) #1; COLOR-medium/dark; NOSE-some green peppers; kasha; ripe raspberries are coming through; very pretty; PALATE-complex; full mouthfeel; really beautiful raspberries and strawberries; just gorgeous length; depth; I'm in love with the leather and meaty venison, jerk chicken components on the mid-palate; fantastic Pinot; this is textbook Burgundy; very balanced; WS-91; GV-91
(Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes) Vines from 1928. Medium, medium-plus colour. Wide and high-toned with quite floral, complex notes. Well-covered structure, remaining understated until it reaches the mid-palate and on into the finish where there is plenty of fine and complex fruit.
