Fourrier’s 2003 Gevrey 1er Clos St.Jacques…
Nostalgia alert: Ah, remember when these little puppies could be had for under £300 – no, not per bottle – per dozen! It seems it’s 3 years since I last popped one of these, so… 2003 Fourrier, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Clos St.Jacques The cork slides… Read More
fourrier’s 2001 griotte, today…
Home-made Shepherd’s Pie (for the detail-conscious, actually Cottage Pie!) so what to drink? This fell nicely to hand: 2001 Fourrier, Griotte-Chambertin I opened this 2001 with a bit of trepidation – well, it’s said that JMF had some cork problems in this vintage – but this is in… Read More
the decadence of fourrier’s 2003 clos st.jacques
I bought the wines of this estate from about 1998-2005 – usually a mix of village Gevrey and Chambolle VVs plus the ubiquitous Clos St.Jacques and the Griotte – I think there may have been a couple of Morey Clos Solon purchases afterwards, but even that got to a… Read More

week-day castagnier and fourrier ;-)
1996 Guy Castagnier, Clos de Vougeot Hmm – starts a little disappointing – particularly after a stellar last bottle and a similarly brilliant 97 Clos de la Roche during harvest. The nose is sullen and hints at brett. Read More

fourrier 2003 combe aux moines
I only started with three of these, and last year I opened two, within a few weeks of each other, and both were corked. I came across this lonesome bottle the other day and thought to myself – ‘what’s the point of it taking up space if it’s also… Read More
