Medium red. Captivating aromas of cherry, raspberry, blueberry and minerals, lifted by a floral topnote. The palate offers excellent cut and precision to the almost Chambolle-like red berry flavors. At once juicy and filled in, this nicely balanced village wine finishes with noteworthy length.

The 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes shows lovely depth and richness that match the trademark Fourrier elegance. The Vieilles Vignes has more power, richness and depth than the Aux Echézeaux, with a round, resonant personality that is highly appealing. A final blast of fruit rounds things out beautifully.

Mid ruby. Delicately scented. Gentle, fresh and very very fine but present tannins. Both charming and energetic as well as persistent. (JH)
