Producer Information
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.As well as the well-known premiers crus (including Clos Saint-Jacques and Combe aux Moine), Fourrier also runs over three hectares (eight acres) of village-level Gevrey-Chambertin.The wider estate also boasts two plots in Chambolle-Musigny (in the Premier Cru Les Gruenchers and a site in village-level Chambolle), the Premier Cru Clos Sorbe in Morey-Saint-Denis, and the Les Petits Vougeots Premier Cru. Only fruit from vines older than 30 years old are used to make Domaine Fourrier wines.
