Domaine Fourrier

Where century-old vines meet uncompromising precision, Domaine Fourrier stands as Burgundy's most meticulous estate, transforming 10 hectares of Côte de Nuits terroir into wines that define Gevrey-Chambertin excellence. Jean-Marie Fourrier's minimal intervention philosophy has elevated this historic domaine to legendary status among collectors worldwide.

Jean-Marie Fourrier assumed control of his family's domaine in 1994, bringing revolutionary precision to winemaking traditions dating back generations. His philosophy centers on allowing terroir to speak through extended aging and minimal manipulation. Fourrier's obsessive attention to detail—from hand-sorting individual berries to aging wines longer than any peer—has transformed the estate into Burgundy's most sought-after producer. His approach respects the vineyard's voice while applying modern understanding of fermentation and élevage.

The domaine's portfolio spans 15 appellations across 70+ parcels, including legendary holdings in Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru and Clos Saint-Jacques Premier Cru. Fourrier's Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, sourced from vines planted in 1928, represents ultra-premium Burgundy at its apex. His Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis bottlings showcase remarkable consistency across diverse terroirs. Extended aging—often 18-24 months in barrel—creates wines of extraordinary depth and longevity. Critics consistently award 95+ point scores, with Wine Advocate calling Fourrier's wines "textbook examples of terroir expression."
