2021 Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes

Fourrier’s village Gevrey, from three hectares of vines, represents a third of the estate’s production. One-third comes from the bottom of the village, with sandy soil, lending fruitiness. Another plot sits below the Grands Crus – with more clay, adding power and structure. The third component is below Premier Cru Les Champeaux and gives balance and finesse. The average age of vines is an impressive 60 years, with none younger than 40. The 2021 is an exceptional village wine – offering a fine powdered texture, floral perfume and incredible purity of bright, crunchy Pinot fruit. It’s long, mouth-wateringly fresh and saline, with impressive precision. Superb.
