2009 Burgundy from Dom. Fourrier

2009 DOM. FOURRIER Gevrey-Chambertin Vielles Vignes $70 ($59.50 case price)

Jean-Marie Fourrier was equally pleased with the ease of the ’09 harvest and elevage. “As to the wines,” he says, “they are already delicious and deceptively accessible, which means that too many of them are going to be drunk too young. The ’09s are going to surprise people in terms of how well they age.”

Burghound offers a tasting note: “An earthy and very Gevrey nose offers up dark berry fruit and game-infused aromas that complement the brooding, robust and complex medium weight plus flavors that possess fine mid-palate density, all wrapped in an intense and driving finish. This is a lovely villages and worth your consideration. Outstanding. 91 pts.“
