Domaine Fourrier
Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir
The village experience of Fourrier (and Rousseau) give you tremendous value for money compared to where their Grand Crus are priced. This was no exception. Popped and poured, powerful nose, elegant Burgundian flavors and while lacking in complexity very nice in every dimension. A crowd pleaser! Wish I had bought more! — 3 years ago
Domaine Duroche
Aux Etelois Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2013
From magnum. Had it next to the stylistically similar Fourrier Gevrey VV, but this was the better wine for me - it had a little more depth and texture. Started of similarly reductive, but quickly opened up to scents of roses, intense red cherry, and smoky insence. The palate's velvety, mix of red and dark fruits, rich but offers lots of freshness with its crisp acidity. Minerality plays second fiddle at the moment, but is evident in the long spicy finish. I bet this was how it looked like when it was first bottled, so time can only make it better. 1er level for sure!
NB: From WH - This plot is located on the southern side of Griotte-Chambertin alongside the Claude Dugat plot and below the Duroché plot of Griottes-Chambertin. It is quite strange that this vineyard has been classified as village as it’s located so close to the Grand Crus. — 6 years ago
I 100% agree
I just wanted to mentioned too how important is the terroir
No producer can make an excellent wine out of a bad parcel in any vineyard
I recall Hubert De Montille saying in Mondovino how the terroir is 10 times more important than the vigneron/winemaker
And as an example you think of Rousseau Clos de la Roche where he doesn't really have a top parcel when Dujac or Ponsot do and make a better wine (IMO) than what I consider to be one of the best red wine producer of the Cote de Nuits(I know, the other two are not bad either). Anyway I just follow those lines too, producer, vineyard, parcel, vintage, but it is never easy.
I guess that's what makes it interesting. 👌🙏

Needs a few more years to flesh out as it is on the austere side with dark fruits and dried herb spices. Aux Reas VV — 8 years ago

Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 2014
Very closed initially. This was still improving as we ran out of wine. Seemed almost stemmy compared to the Fourrier but Mugnier de-stems everything… — a year ago
Bass Phillip
Since 1979 Pinot Noir 2020
Delectable: This is the new entry level Cuvée from Bass Phillip called “Since 1979 Pinot” not offered in your choices. This is the first vintage with Burgundian winemaker, Jacques Fourrier in charge. The first thing I noticed was how fresh and bursting with red fruits this was. Like raspberry, strawberry and cranberry leaping from the glass. No detectable oak influence - all about the fruit. Very approachable immediately - soft silky and delicious. While the other 3 Pinot Cuvées have increased in price this entry level has reduced to under $50 allowing more wine lovers to be introduced to the best producer of Pinot Noir in Australia IMO. Probably clever marketing. I had another bottle 143 weeks later on 23/4/25. Sweet and savoury red fruits. Very well made and red fruit driven in a more drink now style. Drinking well at 5 years of age. — 3 years ago

Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes Pinot Noir 2013
This had lots of dense sappy dark cherry, berry fruits, earthy with good spice, crushed rock & violet. Full bodied & firm structure that needs a few more years. — 5 years ago

Domaine Jean Féry & fils
Aux Réas Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2013
@Delectable Wine this is Jean-Marie Fourrier Vosne Romanee Aux Reas Vielle Vigne, which I couldn't find in the database.
Pop and pour. In an excellent place. On the nose: cola, glossy red fruit, pomegranate liqueur, mulberry leaf. On the palate: lovely acidity, savory herbs and blackberry/cherry compote, Still some grainy tannin on the finish. Still somewhat primary, but drinking very well. — 2 years ago
Bass Phillip
Crown Prince Gippsland Pinot Noir 2018
See previous notes from a few months ago in early July. This was Bass Phillip’s entry level Cuvée but under new owner, Jacques Fourrier it will be retired and the new entry level Pinot will be Bin 17K going forward. This had lovely fresh red fruited aromatics of cherry and strawberry — 4 years ago
Geantet-Pansiot
Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2014
Metallic, sweet spices, dried cranberry and strawberries, sweet and cool. Has plenty depth and sappiness for the plot and vintage. Very Duroche/Fourrier like. — 6 years ago
Domaine Duroche
Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2015
Some people say this is supposedly Rousseau lite. I think it's more Fourrier like, but without the nutmeg spice. — 6 years ago
Domaine Fourrier
Clos Solon Vieille Vigne Morey St. Denis Pinot Noir 2012
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. — 7 years ago
