Chambolles and others at Mike and Cathy's: Served blind but the remnants of the Fourrier wax seal were a giveaway as to the wine's identity. I like to think I would have identified at least the house on bouquet even without this. Bright iridescent colour. A classic Fourrier nose of bright, lifted red berries, particularly raspberries and some cranberries, and red cherries, with chalk and wet limestone. The next day, I thought the bouquet had moved more to darker berries. In the mouth, a sweet entry. Also, Fourrier signature on palate, bright, sparking acidity with red berry flavours. I guessed the wine as an '08. On the night, the wine looked a little straightforward and lighter bodied up against the 1ers. The next night, finishing the bottle, the Fourrier seemed more polished and to have put on a little more depth and weight. In any case, a good Villages level wine, drinking well now, but there is no hurry.

Probably a couple of years from being ready. But still tasty in the Fourrier style. I'd quibble with Meadow's comment about the wine lacking depth- this had a surprisingly complex finish and pretty decent length.

Beautiful. Pure and bright, lively acidity especially for the vintage. Some tertiary notes slowly developing.

Tørker på finish, rustikk og røff. Lite Fourrieraktig...

Liked this a lot. Fine and elegant, with red and blue fruits. Lovely focus, gentle acids.
