Tasting notes
Medium red. Alluring floral lift to the aromas of redcurrant, raspberry, crushed stone and sexy oak. Dense, broad and energetic, with a captivating subtle sweetness to the red berry and mineral flavors. Really saturates the palate and builds on the back end, finishing with noble, fine-grained tannins. Fourrier uses the same percentage of new oak to age his négociant and domain wines--around 20%.

The 2013 Chambertin Grand Cru has a little more intensity on the nose compared to the Clos-de-Bèze: blackberry, hints of seaweed and violets, very fine mineralité roiling underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins that lend it a silky texture, belying the tannins underneath the bonnet. This should be intriguing to taste out of bottle - all the constituents are here.
20% new oak as for all his grand crus. Bright crimson. Very rich and lively. Pure and spearmint. Very clean and fresh. Racy and thoroughbred. Very pure. Tender. Unusually fluid. (JR)
