Pierre Morey/Fourrier Dinner at La Paulée de Los Angeles (Bicyclette, Los Angeles): Light ruby. Open, fragrant menthol. Wow, what a difference in weight and feel!! Medium to light bodied, fine long thread of soil. Classic blend of dull red berry, earth, tangy herb, excellent acidity, and light tannins. Delicate and subtle, no excess sweetness. Tasting this after the 2019 provides quite the shoch and shows what a freak of nature that wine is. Give me this today and for the next fifteen years. Best of the 3 CSJ vintages. Surprise-another beautiful 2017.

Classic Fourrier with candied fruit, darkish cherry red fruit, sweet potpourri and spice. Generous sweetness on the palate with medium plus weight. Drinking well already.

Restaurant purchase; first Fourrier Clos St Jacques; impressive; the nose shows lovely ripe dark fruits, mineral notes, lots of earthy/humus notes; with air the nose changes showing more black tea notes, a bit more floral and mineral, some sauvage hints with the fruit persisting; the palate shows very good density and concentration and excellent balance; long finish. Excellent. Lots of upside for the next 10+ years.

Young, obviously, but still took 4-5 hours to open up. Once open nose of caramelized sugar quickly giving way to plum. Giving way to cherry and finally raisin (not in a bad way). Palate had a muddling of red fruit - nothing too distinguishable. Good wine overall if I were to blind but not living up to hype of a Fourrier CSJ

Chambolle & Gevrey BYO (Grand Hyatt Hong Kong): Really Fourrier in style, in the middle, with great fruit and body. Relaxed palate. Too young. 93
