Reviews

The 2013 Fourrier Clos St. Jacques is outstanding, offering up a very pure and refined nose that is properly reserved out of the blocks, with notes of blood orange, cherries, red plums, incipient meaty tones, cocoa, woodsmoke, mustard seed, a very complex base of soil and a touch of vanillin oak informing the nose. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and still quite primary in personality, with a rock solid core of pure fruit, great soil signature, laser-like focus and outstanding grip on the ripely tannic and very, very long finish. A very, very elegant vintage for this iconic bottling. 94+
Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques from Jean-Marie Fourrier has a generous nose of brambly red fruit, a touch of sage and broom, well defined and with plenty of fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannins compared to Bruno Clair's own Clos Saint Jacques, but there is precision and character here, the terroir very expressive with superb mineralité towards the long and sustained finish, a ferrous note persistent on the aftertaste. This is a wine of tremendous transparency and it is totally engaging. Tasted September 2016
