J.M. Fourrier, Latricieres-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru, 2019 [NET]

Jean-Marie Fourrier is among the most coveted names in all of Burgundy, and Latricières-Chambertin is one of Gevrey's great Grand Crus — adjacent to Chambertin itself, deeper soils producing wine of exceptional complexity and refinement. Fourrier's Vieilles Vignes designation here signals old vines with root systems that reach deep into the limestone-and-clay bedrock, producing something qualitatively different from younger plantings. The 2019 vintage was outstanding in Gevrey — a warm year that the old vines navigated with elegance, producing wines of intensity and structure. This is [NET] — offered at net cost, an opportunity to acquire serious Grand Cru Burgundy from one of the appellation's benchmark producers.
