2020 Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin VV 1x75cl

Neal Martin 90

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes offers a mixture of red and black fruit laced with blood orange and quince, nicely focused with a sense of energy developing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit. Fine acidity, just slightly confit-like towards the finish that erodes a little of the precision compared to other cuvees, though there is satisfying length. [Neal Martin, 16/12/2021]

Notes of peonies, rose petals, raspberries, loamy soil and orange rind introduce the 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, a medium to full-bodied, open and charming wine with melting tannins, lively acids and a saline finish. [William Kelley, 10/01/2022]

Jasper Morris 91-93

Fine crimson purple. The fruit comes across as a touch richer than the Chambolle, but still nicely in balance. No more than medium bodied, much more about finesse and balance, good acidity, peppery finish after the perfumed fresh strawberry fruit. [Jasper Morris, 01/12/2021]

Burghound 88-90

Ripe and nicely layered aromas are comprised by notes of poached plum, warm earth and a whisper of the sauvage. The juicy and fleshy medium weight flavors possess both good volume and verve before terminating in a mildly rustic and warm finale. [Burghound, 25/01/2022]
