Originally established in the 1850s, Domaine Fourrier is a leading wine producer based in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin. The estate is currently managed by Jean-Marie Fourrier, the 5th generation family owner who took over the 10-hectare property from his father in the mid-1990s at the young age of 23. This particular cuvée comes from a lieu-dit located in the middle of Morey-Saint-Denis, which typically produces wonderfully rich wines, with very intense flavours laced with earthy notes.

Medium red. Raspberry and coffee on the very ripe nose. Wonderfully rich and thick but fresh, with a distinct oak influence (Fourrier uses about 20% new oak across the board to age his wines). Raspberry, mocha and smoke notes carry through on the rich finish, which shows slightly drying tannins. A substantial village offering.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2012

The 2009 Morey St. Denis Clos Solon is classy and elegant. Bright red fruits melt into flowers as this inviting, graceful wine opens up in the glass. Though understated, there is plenty of underlying material here. The finish is long and substantial. This is a terrific entry-level Burgundy. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2024.

Count me among the Burgundy fans who are thrilled Jean-Marie Fourrier chose not to pursue the career as a commercial airline pilot for which he studied. Fourrier began picking on September 17. The fruit was destemmed. Cuvaison lasted around 14 days but Fourrier commented that he had an unusually high (50%) amount of shot berries, which had the effect of extending the fermentations for another week or so. The malos started and ended early, hence Fourrier decided to bottle early as well. Per his usual practice, Fourrier left the wines on the lees with no racking until the wines were prepared for bottling. On average the wines saw 20% new oak. I tasted all of the 2009s from bottle.

Poise and Balance

Jean-Marie Fourrier has been at the helm of his family domaine since the mid 1990s and has steadily risen to become one of Gevrey-Chambertin's most important vignerons. Having served an apprentice under the famous Henri Jayer before a brief stint at Domaine Drouhin in Oregon, Jean-Marie returned to France with a clear vision to raise to improve the quality of his wines to be the equal of any in the Côte de Nuits.

Grapes are destemmed after picking and fermentation is kept on the cooler side. A 36 - 48 hour maceration precedes the fermentation, punching down is manual and malolactic fermentation is restricted through temperature control. These are superbly elegant wines which push their ethereal fruit character to the fore.
