Jean-Marie Fourrier took the reins of his father's Domaine in the mid-1990s, carrying on the tradition of meticulous and painstaking vineyard management. Careful attention is put into producing pristine and perfect fruit, which, when placed into barrel essentially makes itself. The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St-Jacques Premier Cru is a more dense and powerful expression of Gevrey-Chambertin's terroir. Plum, black cherry, and licorice, with freshly tilled earth and white pepper leading to finely chiselled tannins and a long and detailed finish. Still a tad shy in its youth, this wine has all the hallmarks of being a very special experience if cellared carefully.
