Griotte-Chambertin Domaine Fourrier 2009 is a Grand Cru red Burgundy from the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation. Winemaker Jean-Marie Fourrier produces this wine from a mere 0.26-hectare plot, planted in 1928, utilising only neutral barrels, thus enhancing the wine`s purity without the imprint of new oak. The 2009 vintage benefited from warm conditions, resulting in aromas of ripe raspberries, rose petals and mineral notes. The palate reveals a sappy red-fruit core, embodying a texture marked by silkiness and a mineral backbone, characteristic of the precision found in Griotte-Chambertin.
