🏰 The 1999 vintage in Burgundy was exceptionally generous in both yield and quality, producing wines with superb elegance and complexity. Domaine Fourrier's Griotte-Chambertin Vieille Vigne Grand Cru 1999 is a highly acclaimed wine, with CellarTracker users rating it as high as 96 points. It's described as having a very youthful nose with intense, succulent red fruits, strawberry rhubarb tart, roasted cherry, candied raspberry, rose, a hint of licorice, tree bark, and earth. The palate offers very good concentration, crunchy red fruit, earthy mineral notes, good acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish. Some tasters note its suave and floral character, with outstanding finesse and inner-mouth perfume. The vines for this wine were planted in 1928, contributing to its 'Vieille Vigne' (old vine) designation and depth. 【A benchmark of 1999 Burgundy Grand Cru elegance and complexity】.
🍴 This exquisite red 布根地 pairs beautifully with classic French dishes such as roasted duck breast with cherry sauce, coq au vin, or a delicate beef tenderloin. For an Eastern pairing, consider a refined Cantonese roast pigeon or a subtle braised shiitake mushroom dish.
🥂 An excellent choice for a special anniversary, a celebratory dinner, or a serious tasting among Burgundy aficionados. It's a wine that rewards patience and offers a profound expression of its terroir and vintage.
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.
