2020 Domaine Fourrier, Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, Burgundy, France

Sourced from an average of 15 parcels of old vines, many planted between the 1920s and 1950s, Fourrier’s Vieille Vignes captures a complete snapshot of Gevrey-Chambertin. With vine ages averaging 80 years, this cuvée blends sites across the village — from the rocky, limestone-driven Les Champerrier to the clay-rich Jouise and the supple Seuvrées near the Morey border — yielding a wine that unites Gevrey’s diverse soils and exposures in one bottle. Vinified with minimal intervention, partial whole-cluster depending on the vintage, and aged in mostly used oak, it delivers the intensity and depth of old vines while preserving purity, freshness, and the transparency of site.
