2017 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Cherbaudes' Côte de Nuits

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Cherbaudes 1er Cru already has a cohesive, quite intense bouquet with violet petals that infuse the blueberry and black cherry fruit, just a hint of vanilla from the wood that will be assimilated by the time of bottling. The palate is medium-bodied with a sorbet-like freshness. There is plenty of blood orange towards the structured finish that feels precise and mineral-driven. Excellent. "


Burghound - "Once again there is a lovely coolness and restraint to the quite pure aromas of gently earthy red and dark currant scents. The vibrant and beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors possess a caressing and rich mouthfeel though the solidly long and complex finish progressively tightens up as it sits on the palate. This should be approachable young but amply reward mid-term cellaring."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Satiny and seductive, the 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Cherbaudes displays a pretty nose of ripe cherries, cassis, dried flowers and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and lavish on the attack, with satiny tannins, succulent acids and a generous core of fruit, concluding with good persistence on the finish. It's an immensely charming Cherbaudes that will be difficult to resist."
