1996 vintage. At Ryozanpaku in Kyoto, Japan. Medium garnet - slight bricking around the edge. Medium intensity of aromas, manure, earth, blackberry, violet creams and savoury spices. Fairly complex if slightly mature. On the palate, good fresh acidity, medium body and noticeable rounded tannins. The mid palate is flavoursome and impressive. The finish is slightly short. Probably won't benefit from further ageing. However, I suggest giving the wine 30 minutes of air before serving. — 8 years ago
A little hot and disjointed at first, but a little air and bloomed very nicely. Some grass, red fruits, velvety texture. Very nice for a village — 10 years ago
It needed a lot of air to start to show well. — 8 months ago
Maybe I’m not objective because of such fond memories of smelling this in the tank and tasting its two predecessors en barrique with Hubert on our honeymoon. But I can’t imagine this being any better than it was last night on our 25th anniversary. — 9 months ago

Young, but drinking so well with beautiful, pure, dark red cherry fruit. Nice tartness with that Morey earth in the background. No one in Burgundy captures such pure and delicious fruit flavors like Fourrier does. Can't wait to try the next bottle 5 years down the road. — 8 years ago

Ruby in color with a ruby grapefruit edge. Red berry and Manhattan cherry aromas with floral and cedar notes. Bright acidity with fresh red fruit flavors. — 11 years ago
Just the right amount of tannin, as it opened up it started to show fresh red fruits — 8 months ago
21’ are so much fun for PnP. Light, pretty, red fruits and earth lead the way. — a year ago
Unbelievable Christmas wine for the festivities…. — 4 years ago
Terrific rich and deep nose of savory minerals and an elite airiness. Also a hint if that classic Pommier richness. Pure and fresh. Palate is deep, rich, savory and incisive. Mouth-filling and deep. Awesome structure and finesse. So well made. Flavors of lemon, lemon pith and some savory elements. Has years to go. Truly great. — 5 years ago
Bottle empty. This was Damn good. — 7 years ago
Ripe but still fresh and delicious for its level. — 7 years ago

I struggled with this one blind, bright and lemony but round and a little nutty in the middle, an excellent Aligote but I’m more used to the more natty De Moor style. — 7 months ago
