Tasting Notes

92-94
Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Mar 14
Veins of tannin and salinity frame Jean-Marie Fourrier's Clos Vougeot, the negoce wine that is closest in style to the domaine offerings. Bright red stone fruits, flowers and anise all come together in the glass. The 2011 is tense and vibrant in the glass, with lovely delineation and precision throughout. The finely-knit finish makes it hard to put the glass down. This is another gorgeous wine from Jean-Marie Fourrier.
