Vougeot Les Petits Vougeot Domaine Fourrier 2009

Domaine Fourrier Vougeot Les Petits Vougeot 2009 is a mature red Burgundy from the Premier Cru climat of Les Petits Vougeot in the Côte de Nuits village of Vougeot. Situated in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Fourrier is a family-owned domaine currently managed by Jean-Marie Fourrier. Before taking over from his father in 1994, Jean-Marie worked as an apprentice of the legendary Henry Jayer and as a trainee winemaker at Domaine Drouhin in Oregon. Les Petits Vougeot is one of only four Premier Cru climats in Vougeot and lies on the northern edge of the appellation, bordering Chambolle-Musigny and the prized climat of Les Amoureuses. "The 2009 Vougeot Les Petits Vougeots is a rather delicate, understated Burgundy. Small red fruits, flowers and sweet spices emerge gracefully from this sensual, inviting wine. The Petits Vougeots is one of the jewels in this lineup." Wine Advocate, 2011
