Domaine Fourrier
Clos St. Jacques Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Night and day difference in showing from this bottle in March. In hindsight, I think the last one may have had travel shock. Tonight, 2013 CSJ coming from 100+ year old vines is superb after a lengthy slow ox, soaring from the glass with crazy aromatic intensity showing a delicate oak framed red and blue fruited profile with winter citrus, cocoa bean and red roses. The palate shows Grand Cru depth, stunning elegance and purity with fine grained tannins and a penetrating salty mineral laced finale that goes on and on. It’s still young, but 13’s from the big dogs are really starting to shine. Hold the reductive 12’s and tannic 14’s and pop the elegant 13’s.

Spice & florals welcome you. In the mouth it leans to the darker spectrum of fruit that is held in check by damp earth, minerals and buffering acid . Probably the wine with the most upside that night based on what I perceived as a muscular structure that allowed only hints of the future .

Jan 12th, 2017Well well well. Certainly not like Rousseau and Dujac 13’s. (Plenty of others drinking great too). Fourrier’s 2013 CSJ is tight as a drum, totally shut down and offers nothing even after 3+ hours in the decanter. Reductive, acidic and short. I guess you cannot win them all!
