"While I did not jot down the information on the Echézeaux, I was a little bit better on the new Clos Vougeot chez Fourrier. This bottling comes from three tiny parcels scattered in different sections of the Clos, with one right down by the RN 74, another located up high on the southern side by Grands Echézeaux and the third just below the château. The 2011 Fourrier Clos Vougeot (I love how that sounds!) is a superb wine in the making, offering up a deep and complex bouquet of red plums, black cherries, woodsmoke, gamebirds, a classy base of soil, fresh thyme and a touch of new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nascently complex, with lovely transparency, a rock solid core, ripe tannins and outstanding length and grip on the focused and classy finish. This will be one of the best wines in the cellar this year."
