Had a nice bottle a year ago w/Steve when it was quite young. Another taste at Paulee confirmed a winner in '22. Have some-it was staring at me- took one for a spin…
2022 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin Vieille Vigne - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin (6/1/2025)
What's not to love here? - Burg nose all day. Alluring. Red-fruited -good balance and depth- iron and black cherry fruit...and so damn crushable! A bit of spice carries through to permeating finish that turns slightly dry- Polished and poised- hits all the right notes with ease- hard to put down. Really terrific village wine.
Great note–I opened the Gevrey the same day as a friend and I shared a bottle of the 2022 Morey Clos Solon and both were excellent. I’m glad I was able to get a couple more bottles of the Gevrey.
2022 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin Vieille Vigne - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin (3/28/2025)
Really delicious now. Cherry and red berries on the nose framed by a ferrous almost meaty note. Plenty of cherry and red berry fruit on the palate with a pleasantly mineral-driven and savory edge on the midplalate and finish. More overtly structured than the Morey Clos Solon from the same vintage and thus with ample stuffing to age, but I would struggle to resist opening more now if I had them.
2022 Domaine Fourrier Morey St. Denis Clos Solon Vieille Vigne - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis (3/28/2025)
Restaurant purchase so notes from memory. Surprisingly velvety and approachable despite its youth, this is less overtly structured than the Gevrey villages from the same vintage. Red fruit, tobacco, and a savory undertow that hints at its potential future development. The bright acidity made this especially food friendly tonight.
Thanks, Matt! Great notes on your end as well. I managed to snag a couple Clos Solon from Thatcher’s at a decent price when they appeared for a second a few saturdays ago. Looking forward. Thanks!
Thatcher has really decent pricing through their allocation program. Crurated is also worth keeping an eye on. Obviously Tariffs are a concern at the moment, but I managed to order for $85 a bottle through Crurated.
Thanks for the note & reminder to pick up more. Had a bottle at a Thatcher restaurant dinner (I think it was priced at something like $120) and agree it was outstanding juice.
