Fourrier Chambertin and Clos Vougeot t 2014

Tribeca Wine Mechants is offering a few bottles, and larger format wines, as well as some Clos Vougeot. I assume they are small production purchases.

Anyone taste these?

saw that. Did he buy grapes or must? Did he do vineyard work? Whose vines? Any notes or more info? Too much missing info in the offer to risk $500/b.

my understanding is he oversaw the vineyard work and made the picking call. I’m pretty sure the chambertin comes from Damoy holdings but that is my speculation from a couple of puzzle pieces.

I don’t know where the Clos Vougeot came from. I like Jean Marie quite a bit, but at that price point I’d rather buy something with a longer history. If I recall correctly quite of a few of these wines traded at the La Paulee auction. Don’t recall the prices, but I thought they were fairly mixed.

Wine Market Journal has the Chambertin hammering around $450 and the Clos Vougeot $900!!

Yeah but didn’t those come straight from the cellars direct to auction?

Mark-look at the Roulot negoc wines from that auction.

Don’t know where the fruit comes from, but Jean-Marie Fourrier’s quote in the 2014 Côte de Nuits report by Sarah Marsh were really interesting. I don’t have it on hand, so I report from memory. Apparently, he works on a kind of investor model for the négociant wines with private investors and merchants financing the fruit. For the Chambolle Amoureuses, the price for the grapes is so high that no price under 200 Euros would even finance the purchase price for the grapes for one bottle of it. Things are getting crazy.

Paul, what am I looking for?
