Dark Cherries, Spiced Plum, Supple Texture, and Old-Vine Purity

Crafted from deeply rooted vines planted in 1942, this rare micro-cuvée brings Jean-Marie Fourrier’s masterful, silky touch to Beaune's prestigious Les Grèves. Grown on gravelly soils, it reveals a darker, more expansive fruit profile laced with spiced plum, nutmeg, and orange zest. Completely destemmed and gently extracted, it is a supple, polished, and beautifully pure Burgundy that perfectly marries old-vine concentration with signature Fourrier finesse.

Critical Recognition

James Suckling 94 pts
  • 94 Points - James Suckling: This is a dark and delicious pinot that has rich layers of spiced plums, nutmeg, dark cherries, chocolate, oranges and cedar. It’s medium- to full-bodied and supple, with perfectly ripe tannins and a long, polished finish. Drinkable already, but best after 2025.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir sourced from Les Grèves, Beaune’s most famous and highly regarded Premier Cru, bottled under Fourrier's micro-négociant label, Vigne Comte de Chapelle.
  • Produced in minuscule quantities from a heritage parcel of Vieilles Vignes (old vines) planted in 1942, naturally limiting yields and concentrating flavor.
  • The vineyard's distinctive sandy, gravel-rich soils (grèves translates to gravel) impart exceptional drainage, translating to a wine of profound mineral elegance and supple structure.
  • Vinified following Jean-Marie Fourrier's strict domaine protocols: 100% destemmed, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and managed with minimal extraction to ensure silky textures.
  • Aged carefully with roughly 20% new French oak, it is bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve the vintage's lush fruit and pristine aromatic profile.

Tasting Notes

Pours a deep, brilliant ruby. The nose is expansive and alluring, offering rich layers of dark cherry, spiced plum, and delicate cedar woven with hints of nutmeg and orange zest. On the palate, it is beautifully supple and medium- to full-bodied, carrying its concentrated old-vine fruit with effortless grace. Perfectly ripe tannins and fresh, harmonious acidity guide a long, polished, and subtly mineral-laced finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at 15–17°C (59–62°F) in large Burgundy bowls to best capture the wine's complex aromatic layers.
  • Decanting: Aerate for 45–60 minutes if opening in its youth. Pairs wonderfully with roast duck, venison loin, or earthy mushroom dishes. Best enjoyed from 2025 through 2038.
