Domaine Fourrier Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Champeaux 2024 750ml
Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru "Les Champeaux" 2024 is a distinguished red Burgundy produced from Pinot Noir in one of Gevrey-Chambertin's celebrated Premier Cru vineyards. Located on the higher slopes in the northern part of the Côte de Nuits, Les Champeaux is known for its limestone-rich, stony soils and comparatively cool growing conditions, which contribute to freshness, precision and mineral complexity.
Domaine Fourrier's approach emphasises the natural concentration of old-vine fruit, careful vineyard management and restrained winemaking to preserve the individual character of each site. The 2024 vintage faced challenging growing conditions, resulting in reduced yields and a wine that prioritises freshness, finesse and aromatic clarity over sheer power.
This Premier Cru combines expressive red and dark berry fruit with floral nuances, fine tannins and a distinctive chalky mineral character. Its refined structure and persistent finish make it an excellent choice for Burgundy enthusiasts, collectors and sophisticated dining occasions.
