Domaine Fourrier Les Gruenchers Vieilles Vignes Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru 2018
Domaine Fourrier is a well-regarded wine producer based in Gevrey-Chambertin, in Burgundy's northern Côte de Nuits subregion. Its wines, mostly made from Pinot Noir, are highly sought-after and known for their silky finesse. Fourrier is perhaps best known for its wine from the famed Clos Saint-Jacques Premier Cru vineyard.
Les Gruenchers is one of 24 Premier Cru climats within the Chambolle-Musigny appellation in the Cote de Nuits sub-region of Burgundy. The terroir here is well suited to Pinot Noir, making an elegant yet structured red wine. Numerous - sometimes highly sought-after - domaines have holdings in, and make an individual wine from, from this site.
Critical Acclaim
93 Wine Advocate
The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru les Gruenchers has a very able bouquet with red cherries, crushed strawberry and wilted rose petal scents that blossom in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation, a crisp line of acidity, plenty of energy and a vibrant, ripe and rounded finish that seems to caress the senses. Bon vin, as they say.
92 Vinous
Medium red. Blueberry lifted by a floral topnote on the alluring nose. Juicy and spicy on the palate, offering lovely clarity of flavor. Not nearly as thick as the Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes but seduces with its balance of sweetness and acidity. A seriously structured wine with nothing austere about it.
