Cherbaudes Vieille Vigne Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Gorgeous aromatics. Still extremely high tone, pure, and linear on palate. Not sure there is enough body, or concentration, to balance acidity over the long run. Fourrier has referred to 2008 as a vintage producing wines reminiscent of wines from the 1970's.

Hickory, meat, cranberry, stunning nose but palate is a bit closed at this time. Entire site is less than three hect. Muy potential

Rich and spicy

Beautiful burgundy , perfect time to enjoy it .

Scope to improve

Quite stemmy, menthol, burdock root, iron, and earthy. I was expecting a bit more fruit but could be the vintage and whole cluster style.

young and light. lady-like

These ‘08 Fourriers are good but not quite integrated yet, believe it or not. It was open and seductive, then closed and overpowered by CO2, then open again. A sense of oak, tart cherry, exceptional tannic structure.

This bottle was stunning. An absolute show-stopper. A seamless blend of citrus zest and big rocks or graphite, concentrated, perhaps shot, berries. This is in a very good place right now.
