  Nose: earthy, candy, fresh cherry, red fruits, smoke, raspberry, tea leaves, mung beans
  Notes: Tasted blind and after a few rounds of guessing we confirmed this to be a Fourrier but I didn't catch Clos Saint Jacques before the label was revealed but what a nose this Fourrier is offering! With a good mix of fresh cherry and earthy notes this surely is a very elegant and relatively feminine Fourrier. Palate is well balanced and perhaps a little mature for 2013. After 2 hours of opening an intriguing nose and aftertaste of tea leaves appeared and this certainly makes the wine more enjoyable. If I must pick something to complain about it would be that the body is little light for a Clos Saint Jacques. Although this is drinking nicely now, I think it hasn't reached its prime yet, thus I would suggest one to wait a couple more years before drinking it.

  Such a nice surprise for a Fourrier when it was served in blind. It was ethereal and weightless with pure red and purple fruit. The lightness indicated the weaker vintage but I was astounded by the purity.

  Night and day difference in showing from this bottle in March. In hindsight, I think the last one may have had travel shock. Tonight, 2013 CSJ coming from 100+ year old vines is superb after a lengthy slow ox, soaring from the glass with crazy aromatic intensity showing a delicate oak framed red and blue fruited profile with winter citrus, cocoa bean and red roses. The palate shows Grand Cru depth, stunning elegance and purity with fine grained tannins and a penetrating salty mineral laced finale that goes on and on. It’s still young, but 13’s from the big dogs are really starting to shine. Hold the reductive 12’s and tannic 14’s and pop the elegant 13’s.

  3/19/2022 - finediningnyc Does not like this wine:

  Well well well. Certainly not like Rousseau and Dujac 13’s. (Plenty of others drinking great too). Fourrier’s 2013 CSJ is tight as a drum, totally shut down and offers nothing even after 3+ hours in the decanter. Reductive, acidic and short. I guess you cannot win them all!
