(The following is from the importer materials)
Fourier, who has built a reputation as ``one of the best makers in the Côte d'Or,'' is one of the makers who is attracting a lot of attention because of his training at Henri Jayet, Drouhin, etc., and is difficult to obtain.

This is a cuvée from Fourier's négociant. The grapes were first released in 2011, ensuring that the grapes were of high quality and did not exceed 30% of the domaine's production. These wines are made based on the same philosophy as Domaine wine, and according to the head of the family, Jean-Marie, they are "like newly adopted children."

Latriciere-Chambertin, a special grade vineyard with an elegant and feminine impression. It is characterized by aromas of spices such as licorice and cloves, and has a geology very similar to its neighbor to the north, Chambertin. This one has the added flavor of old trees, making it even more appealing! Please enjoy it after aging for several years.

Fourrier

A prestigious and extremely difficult to obtain product that boasts a history of over a century.

Domaine Fourier is a prestigious family that has been in business since the mid-19th century, with its headquarters in Gevrey-Chambertin. The wines we produce are produced in very small quantities and sought after by connoisseurs all over the world, making them extremely difficult to obtain.

Approximately 70% of all owned fields are special or first-class fields that have been owned for generations, and in addition to Gevrey-Chambertin, there are 9.5 hectares of land in Moret-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, and Vougeot. I own a field.

The current head of the family is Jean-Marie Fourier, a young and passionate man born in 1971. After graduating from Beaune's Wine Agricultural High School, Jean-Marie, who is the fifth generation, attended a brewing course at the University of Burgundy and learned winemaking while helping his father with his work. In 1988, he spent six months studying winemaking under the late Henri Jayer, who is still hailed as the god of Burgundy. In 1993, he traveled to Oregon, USA, to learn about American Pinot Noir production from the master Joseph Drouhin.

In this way, Fourier's wines, which have studied not only Burgundy but also Pinot Noir around the world, have a common characteristic of ``complex and powerful, but also soft and soothing taste.'' The mysterious taste is created by his way of thinking about winemaking.

Calling himself a ``terroirist'' (a term coined by terroir supremacists), he strives to express the purity of terroir and the noble grape variety Pinot Noir, saying, ``I don't imitate anyone else, I have my own winemaking and philosophy.'' I am. Fourier's goal is to create wine in the early 20th century, where nature is left to its own power, rather than relying on advanced technology to control nature. By brewing high-potential grapes that have stored the nutrients of the earth with as little human intervention as possible, we create wines with a strong terroir flavor.
