Jean-Marie Fourrier Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2020

Jean-Marie Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2020
Fourrier’s 2020 Gevrey Vieilles Vignes is a masterclass in restrained power and crystalline detail. Sourced from 50–70-year-old vines across several lieux-dits, it combines the vintage’s natural intensity with Fourrier’s trademark elegance. Expect lifted red cherry, rose petal, and damp earth, all wrapped in fine, chalky tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish.
