I reckon BH’s notes on this are pretty spot on for my experience (expect the part on the Noirots), so here it is:
“Once again, there is a subtle though not invisible application of wood that still easily allows the airy, cool and restrained aromas of various red berries, and in particular cherry, floral and a mildly exotic whiff of dried orange peel. The energetic and beautifully well-detailed middle weight flavors are much finer if less powerful than those of the Noirots while display notably more minerality as well on the compact, serious and built-to-age finale. This is a wine of finesse and refinement but the flavor authority is impressive as is the tannic spine.”
WOTN for most I believe. Showed well with air, but clearly some tightness at the start. Loved the energy here. Very promising! — 3 months ago
The 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Combe des Fous is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsaut and Vaccarèse. The 2020 La Combe des Fous offers up intense aromas of cooked red and black fruits, cloves, licorice, dried herbs and black olive tapenade. Solid tannic structure frames this concentrated, full-bodied powerhouse, balanced by bright acidity. It concludes with excellent freshness on the savory finish.

A fantastic ‘11! No doubt in a leaner style but there’s clear Fourrier signature and it’s so fresh, with absolutely zero greenness, just beautiful floral perfume and bright red cherry fruit that waft from the glass. The palate gains notably in weight and intensity and its pure, focused and saline-mineral inflicted finishes keeps on lingering. Great showing for a vintage I generally avoid in reds. — 23 days ago
Delightful@and delicious Really enjoyed this Pinot. Can hardly wait to buy more. Medium bodied, purple red color, cherries, works very well with lots of food from steak to pasta or as a stand alone while reading, chatting to watching a movie or sports on TV lovely after flavor.
