Jean-Marie Fourrier Bourgogne Rouge 2022

Jean-Marie Fourrier Bourgogne Rouge 2022
From vines just outside Gevrey-Chambertin, Fourrier’s 2022 Bourgogne Rouge captures the domaine’s signature purity in a vintage of striking charm. Whole-cluster perfume, crunchy red fruit and stony length define this deceptively serious Bourgogne. Fermented and raised like a village wine, it’s a clear window into Fourrier’s meticulous, low-intervention style.

The Domaine
Jean-Marie Fourrier, once a protégé of Henri Jayer, has transformed his family’s Gevrey-Chambertin estate into a cult reference. With a minimalist ethos—no pigeage, no fining, no filtering—his wines channel terroir with precision and elegance. Old vines, gentle extraction and impeccable farming yield Pinot Noir that’s vivid, pure and profoundly site-transparent, even at Bourgogne level.
