Griotte Chambertin 2007 Domaine Fourrier

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (92)

The Fourrier 2007 Griotte-Chambertin offers a formidable, if rather austere, amalgam of cyanic cherry pit, chalk, and black pepper that impinges tactilely on the palate backed by abundant firm, fine-grained tannins. Licorice and dark cherry inform a fresh juicy fruit layer admirably transparent to the display of mineral density and tannic force playing out beneath. This gripping, and for its vintage, surprisingly stern Pinot looks set to be worth following for 12-15 years though its personality will probably always remain in the dark side.
