Red
750ml

🏰 The 2013 vintage in 布根地 (Burgundy) was generally considered challenging, yet skilled producers like Fourrier often crafted elegant wines, especially from old vines ('Vieille Vigne') which tend to offer more concentration and depth. Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St Jacques, though technically a Premier Cru, is widely regarded as Grand Cru quality due to its exceptional terroir. This red 布根地 wine, from old vines, would likely showcase the vintage's potential for finesse rather than overt power. Expect a bouquet of classic red fruits like cherry and raspberry, intertwined with earthy notes, forest floor, and possibly subtle hints of spice or game that develop with age. The palate should be refined, with good acidity and fine tannins, reflecting the elegance that can be achieved in a cooler vintage. 【A Premier Cru with Grand Cru pedigree from old vines】. This wine is a testament to the producer's mastery in a nuanced year.
🍴 This sophisticated red 布根地 would be an exquisite pairing for roasted poultry, such as duck or guinea fowl, mushroom-based dishes like a rich mushroom risotto, or traditional coq au vin. It also complements aged, semi-hard cheeses beautifully.
🥂 The 2013 Fourrier Gevrey Chambertin Clos St Jacques Vieille Vigne is an ideal choice for a sophisticated dinner, a gathering of discerning Burgundy enthusiasts, or a special occasion that calls for a wine of elegance and intellectual depth. It's likely entering a beautiful drinking window now, offering both complexity and charm.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Fourrier is a well-regarded wine producer based in Gevrey-Chambertin, in Burgundy's northern Côte de Nuits subregion, France. Its wines mostly made from Pinot Noir. 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.
