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. Jean-Marie Fourrier took over his family estate in 1994, aged just 23. He worked with the legendary Henri Jayer in Vosne-Romanée in the late 1980s. The latter’s influence is reflected in the domaine’s fastidious approach in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the winery.
