Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cherbaudes Vieille Vigne Jean-Marie Fourrier 2016

The wine

Gevrey Les Cherbaudes delivers beautiful aromas of red berries (cherry, wild strawberry, redcurrant), with spicy mineral notes. The palate is well balanced and fruity, with a beautiful length.

Jean-Marie Fourrier took over the 10 hectare family domaine in Gevrey-Chambertin in the 1990s at the age of 23. He gained his experience at Domaine Drouhin and from the legendary Henry Jayer and took over the family traditions. He has plots in Griotte-Chambertin and in the Clos St Jacques whose vines were planted at the beginning of the last century. Jean-Marie Fourier works his vines as naturally as possible, with very little intervention and with minimal use of sulphites and new wood. His wines are of a very high standard and are characterised by their great aromatic purity
