Strauss & co - 8 - 11 November 2020

Domaine Jean- Marie Fourrier Domaine Jean-Marie Fourrier is owned and run by Jean-Marie who took over from his father in 1994, who had, in turn, trained with the legendary Henri Jayer in Vosne- Romanée. Jean-Marie’s vision and talents have enabled him to turn the estate around completely. This was during the challenging time for Burgundy when the trend was to follow the over-extraction wave that pleased the likes of wine authority Robert Parker. Jean-Marie is assisted by his wife Vicki and the domaine now owns 10 hectares of vines spread across the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin, with small plots of vines in other villages. The impeccably tended vines range from 70 to 100 years in age and sélection massale is the only method used to replace any when necessary. Respect for terroir is paramount and therefore spraying of the vineyards is kept to an absolute minimum and the use of herbicides is avoided entirely. Today, Domaine Jean-Marie Fourrier enjoys a cult following in Burgundy, offering a legacy of fine, elegant, terroir-driven wines. Domaine Jean-Marie Fourrier  Images courtesy of Great Domaines 18
