At the heart of Burgundy's prestige lie its renowned vineyards, which have garnered global acclaim for their exceptional wines. The names that resonate in the world of Burgundy are Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leroy, Domaine Armand Rousseau, and Domaine Georges Roumier. These vineyards have become synonymous with greatness, crafting wines that define elegance, complexity, and longevity.
Burgundy's most esteemed wines are crafted from two noble grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

These whites epitomize the artistry of winemaking, with each sip revealing layers of flavors and a harmonious balance between fruit, minerality, and oak.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (96-98)5 Star Wine. Francois describes the soil as going through five layers, starting very limestone at the top of the slope and finishing in silty soil at the bottom. Three quarters was planted in 1910 while the bottom section below the alley is from 1955. Rich glowing crimson purple. There is a firmness to the bouquet that makes one sit up. Tasted after the excellent Combe aux Moines one can easily see the suggestion of grand cru for Clos St-Jacques. There is a sublime weight of deep red fruit in the middle of the palate, then a brilliant long finale after the perfectly managed tannins. A fraction of spice for seasoning, around the silkiness of the fruit. I am still tasting the fruit many minutes later. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Nov 2024. |

Vinous (93)Good full red. Wild small red fruits are lifted by pungent minerality on the nose. Bright and high-pitched on the palate, showing the captivating sweetness of the year but dominated by its tannic spine today. At once sweeter and firmer than the Cherbaudes, and more vertical in its shape. Finishes with superb lingering perfume. I'd wait three or four years on this beauty. At this point in our tasting, Fourrier told me that acidity levels at this domain were higher in 2007 than in 2005. |

Vinous (92+)Healthy medium red. Slightly stunted but pure aromas of red berries and black cherry are less exuberant than those of the Champeaux. Also more restrained and tightly wound in the mouth, but with vibrant acidity and a sensation of peppery grip giving the wine terrific inner-mouth energy. Classic 2013 in its tautness and cut. Finishes ripely tannic and long; this should be a beauty with mid-term cellaring. |

Decanter (96)Combe Aux Moines is something of a signature wine from Fourrier alongside his Clos-St-Jacques. Reflecting its elevated position, this is a bright, aromatic, wonderfully refreshing style with some ferrous notes and a smooth, balanced finish. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-96)(5-Star wine) A rich even purple colour. The bouquet is very classy, in a restrained but refined manner suggesting more opulence to come. Just a touch of pepper. Dark raspberry, complex, juicy, structured, it is all there with a persistence that outstrips the other Gevrey 1ers crus tasted to date. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-96)5 Star Wine. The vines were planted in 1928, on the flat in the quarry, but surrounded by walls of rock. A rich bright purple. Huge energy. Very stylish on the palate, glossy yet complete, darker fruit here with a little pepper at the finish. A really impressive fine long finish with great depth. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Nov 2024. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (93-95)The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Champeaux 1er Cru has a floral bouquet featuring white flowers borrowed from the Cherbaudes mingling with wild strawberry and raspberry fruit notes. Hints of black fruit emerge with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh opening. It's very elegant, quite Rousseau-like and fleshy toward the caressing finish. This is one of the best wines from Fourrier this year. |

Vinous (90-92)Good deep red. Reduced nose dominated by smoked meat. Then deep, ripe and aromatic in the mouth, with a blackberry flavor complicated by a gamey nuance. Concentrated, fine-grained and sappy, conveying a glyceral impression. Finishes quite suave and expressive, with broad, fine tannins and lovely lingering perfume. |

Wine Advocate (92)The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Cherbaudes is excellent, unfurling in the glass with a complex bouquet of dark chocolate, cassis, wild berries and plums. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a layered core of crunchy fruit, fine structuring tannins and a long, sapid finish. While this is very elegant in style this year, it has more than enough substance to evolve in bottle for two decades or more. |
