Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin Combe Aux Moines 2005 is a medium-bodied Burgundy red wine from the Premier Ccru climat of Combe Aux Moines in the Gevrey-Chambertin commune of the Côte de Nuits. Founded in the 1850s, Domaine Fourrier is a prestigious wine producer based in Gevrey-Chambertin, in the Côte de Nuits. The estate is currently led by Jean-Marie Fourrier, the fifth-generation owner who took over the 10-hectare property from his father in the mid-1990s. This release hails from the Premier Cru ‘La Combe aux Moines’, one of the most elevated vineyards in Burgundy, reaching nearly 400 metres. "The 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin Combe aux Moines smells of bouillon, game, spices, fresh red fruits and a hint of caramel. In the mouth, it offers texturally more refined and more roasted, rich variations on the meaty, mineral themes introduced by Fourrier’s Les Goulots. For all of its ripeness and chalky, stony mineral density, and marrowy depth, this wine (like its siblings, hovering around a mere 13% alcohol) displays dynamism and lift." Wine Advocate, 2010
