Gevrey Chambertin Vieille Vigne Domaine Fourrier 2017 (750ML)

88-91 Points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate: "From the north side of the appellation, the 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes exhibits aromas of cassis, dark chocolate and grilled game bird, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate, its structuring tannins entirely concealed behind a deep core of fruit that's both more concentrated and seemingly more tangy than that found in the Aux Echézeaux this year." 1/19

90-92 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes comes from 60-year old vines, 80-years in Champ Perrière (the minimum 40 years old). It has a clean, precise and very focused bouquet that gains intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, plenty of tart red fruit laced with cedar and graphite, leading to a pointed finish that feels persistent and classic in style. Excellent" 1/19

89-91 Points, Allen Meadows' Burghound: "An elegant, airy and exceptionally fresh nose combines notes of cassis, black cherry, humus-inflected earth and a whiff of the sauvage. The medium weight flavors are at once tighter and more powerful if less refined, all wrapped in a youthfully austere, serious and impressively persistent finish. At least some patience will be required and this too is worthy of your interest." 1/19

89-90+ Points, John Gilman, View from the Cellar: "The 2017 Gevrey V.V. bottling was showing a bit of reduction at the time of my visit, but with some coaxing eventually delivers a nose of red and black cherries, black minerality, gamebird, raw cocoa and a touch of new oak. On the palate the wine is deep and full, but still a bit unsettled from its recent racking, with a good core, moderate tannins and a long finish. I am sure this is going to be quite good, but in this stage, I have scored it within a range. 2024-2055. " 12/18
