Gevrey Chambertin Clos Saint Jacques, Domaine Fourrier 2020

Tasting Notes

Concentrated crimson purple. Perfect nose, such weight and intensity. Hard to find the words beyond saying that it is pretty much a perfect rendition. So much energy of fruit at the front end, that extra bit of lift and life from the stems, exceptional persistence, and a ripeness of fruit which seems perfectly judged. Tasted: December 2021

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques wafts from the glass with aromas of cherries, sweet red berries, rose petals, orange rind, peonies and spices. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and complete, it's velvety and perfumed, with lively acids, beautifully refined tannins and a long, expansive finish.
