Jean Marie Fourrier - Chambertin Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2018

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru has also turned out well, offering up scents of ripe cherries, berries, smoked meats and rich soil tones. Full-bodied, ample and multidimensional, it's layered and nicely concentrated. If my speculations about the provenance of this négociant cuvée are correct, Fourrier deserves all the more praise for rendering what is probably the best wine produced from these holdings in this vintage."

DECANTER: "Always labelled as a single 'old vine', this commendable consistent village Gevrey-Chambertin is a blend of fruit from the Champerrier and Combes du Dessus lieux-dits. Densely coloured in 2018, with plenty of fruit concentration, tannins and acidity, it could easily be mistaken for a Premier Cru. Sappy, refreshing and long, it handles its 25% new oak with ease. Typical of the winning Fourrier style. Drinking Window 2021 - 2028."
