Tasting notes
The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos Solon has a lifted black cherry and cassis scented bouquet that is nicely poised, though not powerful. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline entry, light tannin, a little bitter towards the finish with moderate length. I would just like to see more flesh evolve by the time of bottling.

Fourrier's 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos Solon wafts from the glass with aromas of plums, dark chocolate and candied peel, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent palate that's open-knit and giving but nicely concentrated. It will offer a broad drinking window.
In the middle of the Clos, planted in the 1960s. In tank since 3 weeks ago. Will be bottled early February. Sweet and sour cherry on the nose with a little ripe raisiny note peeking out. Really quite ripe on the palate, still fresh but rather sturdy. Very rounded but dark and a little sour on the finish. Seems out of keeping with the style of the other Fourrier wines, as if perhaps the sample was not in great shape. (JH)
