Gevrey Chambertin Les Goulots Vieille Vigne Domaine Fourrier 2016 (750ML)

91-93 Points, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous: "Good bright-medium red. Tight, dark aromas of black fruits and licorice pastille lifted by a whiff of cranberry. Ripe and broad, but with terrific inner-mouth floral lift and a rocky pungency. Tannins are fully ripe and fine-grained. Offers a rather exhilarating--and uncommon--combination of cooler flavors and full phenolic ripeness. This wine comes from a very cool, east-facing site planted on rock, which had difficulty ripening its fruit prior to global warming. A tighter, more intellectual style than the Champeaux: Fourrier loves the Goulots with sushi, while he'd pair the Champeaux with a rib-eye steak." 01/18

90-92 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "Once again there is borderline generous wood influence surrounding the spicier and cooler mix of various red berries, earth and floral scents. As is typically the case, the mouthfeel of the middle weight flavors is both finer and more vibrant though without the same volume and power, all wrapped in a markedly mineral-driven finish. This should be approachable after 5-ish years of bottle age if a younger fruit profile is your preference." 01/18
