Cultivation uses Rutte Raisonné. The pesticide mainly uses low-concentration copper sulfate. We apply non-genetically modified fertilizer once every two to three years. The pruning is tailored to Guyot, which is suitable for mass selection clones. We do not use commercially available hybrid clones because we believe that homogenizing the strains would impair the complexity of the wine. Bud removal is very strict in order to limit the yield. During harvesting, the harvesters are not in a hurry, they pick the crops slowly and sort them, and they are also encouraged to wash their hands to prevent mold from spreading. Harvested fruit is 100% destemmed and only half crushed. Cold soaking is carried out for 3 to 4 days at natural temperature (the temperature of the fruit harvested in the morning). When the mast temperature exceeds 15℃, the temperature is lowered. Fermentation is started by leaving it to nature, with liquid circulation immediately after the beginning and end of fermentation, and at the peak of the fermentation, manual pigage is performed four times a day, for a total fermentation period of 18 to 20 days. For aging, we do not use many new barrels, and only use around 20%. During the 18 months of aging, no racking, fining, or filtering was performed.

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.
