Domaine Fourrier Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru 2023

93-96 BH

96-98 JM

Notes:

A discreet whiff of oak surrounds the notably spice-infused aromas of red and dark berries, sandalwood and exotic tea. The medium weight flavors possess a highly seductive and refined mouthfeel while delivering evident minerality on the highly persistent, complex and impeccably well-balanced finish. This is at once wonderfully elegant and powerful and a wine that should amply reward extended keeping. In sum, this is a very classy effort. Burghound 93-96

Five barrels in 2023, riches! Glowing purple. The nose is sensational. A happy explosion of floral peonies with ripe red berries. Ethereal while retaining its grounding in ultra rich concentrated red fruit, remarkably stylish with a spectacular intensity all the way through. Firm fruit at the finish. Solid and sensual at the same time. 13.99% alcohol says François with a grin. Even after the near perfect Clos St-Jacques this shows well. Drink from 2033-2045. Tasted Nov 2024.
