Domaine Fourrier La Combe Aux Moines Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru 2020
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.
The domaine's vineyard holdings total just under nine hectares (22 acres), located predominantly in Gevrey-Chambertin. These include parcels in seven different Gevrey-Chambertin premier cru sites, and a small 0.26-hectare (0.64-acre) plot in the Griottes-Chambertin Grand Cru vineyard.
Combe au Moine is a Premier Cru climat of the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation in the northern Cote de Nuits wine region. This vineyard is one of the most elevated in Burgundy, reaching nearly 400 meters (1,300ft) above sea level. The wines made here from Pinot Noir are structured and relatively rustic, exhibiting bright red fruit alongside earthy characters.
The five hectare (12ac) vineyard is at the northern end of the Gevrey-Chambertin commune, some way from the contiguous Grand Cru hill, at the heart of which lies the famous Chambertin vineyard. Instead, Combe au Moine is bounded by other east-facing Premier Cru climats, Les Cazetiers and Champeaux among them.
