Only 5 barrels produced. The Griotte Chambertin is a good step up from the Clos Saint Jacques, much more powerful and juicy. Chalky soil, a hint of mulberry which I sometimes notice in Griotte Chambertin. Juicy dark berries and intense fresh fruits, some resemblance to 2015 reds. Great tension and density. (93-94/100)

Domaine Fourrier Cellar Visit and Tasting (Gevrey-Chambertin): Barrel tasting at the domaine. Red and black cherry aromas with a complex perfumed, floral and spice character I don't often find in Gevrey. Similar flavors with some black berry notes as well. This starts out elegant and bright on the palate, then quickly picks up density towards long, superbly textured finish. Truly great 95-97 point potential. One of my favorite wines from barrel in the entire trip.
