Domaine Fourrier

Gevrey Chambertin

Domaine Fourrier (formerly known as Pernot-Fourrier) has a long history in Gevrey-Chambertin that spans four generations. One of the first estates to export its wine to the USA, it is also one of the most prodigious estates in the village with properties throughout the most advertised of appellations. After going through a period of eclipses at the end of the 1980s, the estate was revitalized by the arrival of Jean-Marie Fourrier.

Taking the reins in 1994, Jean-Marie burst onto the Burgundian scene by judiciously combining

the traditions of his father and his uncle (for example, using vines that are at least 30 years old for bottling at the estate), his experience acquired with Henri Jayer and Domaine Drouhin (in Oregon), and his own sense of style. Since its rise, the wines of Domaine Fourrier have been critically acclaimed. Domaine Fourrier has 9 hectares of vines in the communes of Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis and Chambolle-Musigny with scattered farms and at the bottom of the slopes and the village range at Grand Cru level. Included among their holdings are significant portions of Clos St. Jacques and Combes Aux Moines as well as a small but valuable slice of Griotte-Chambertin.
