Gevrey Chambertin Cherbaudes Vieille Vigne Domaine Fourrier 2017 (750ML)

90-92 Points, William Kelley, 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." 1/19

91-93 Points, Neal Martin, 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." 1/19

90-93 Points, Allen Medows' 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." 1/19

91-92+ Points, John Gilman, View from the Cellar: "The 2017 Fourrier Cherbaudes has very good constituent components, but it was still a bit agitated from its recent assemblage and not entirely happy about being tasted. The bouquet offers up scents of plums, red and black cherries, gamebird, raw cocoa, woodsmoke and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and quite promising, with good sappiness at the core and good transparency, ripe tannins and fine length and grip on the classy and quite elegant finish. This was not showing great focus on the day of my visit, but I am certain that this was just a reflection of its recent racking and the wine is going to be very, very good. 2027-2065." 12/18
