Spiced Cherry, Crushed Iron, Velvety Power, and Premier Cru Grandeur

Sourced from Pommard's most revered Premier Cru, Les Rugiens, this old-vine Pinot Noir perfectly marries the site's iron-rich power with Jean-Marie Fourrier's signature silky finesse. Exuding aromas of spiced cherry, crushed rose, and earthy tea leaves, it is beautifully complex. Completely destemmed and gently handled, the 2023 vintage delivers profound depth, seamless texture, and an elegantly long finish.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir sourced from Les Rugiens, widely considered the greatest Premier Cru in Pommard, bottled under Fourrier's micro-négociant label, Vigne Comte de Chapelle.
  • Grown on distinctively red, iron-rich marl and limestone soils, which impart the wine's signature robust structure, deep color, and complex spicy and savory character.
  • Sourced from mature Vieilles Vignes (old vines), which naturally concentrate the fruit extract, balancing Pommard's inherent muscularity with layered, brooding complexity.
  • Vinified following Jean-Marie Fourrier's strict domaine protocols: 100% destemmed, fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, and managed with ultra-gentle extraction to polish the powerful tannins.
  • The generous 2023 vintage provided ripe, expressive fruit, carefully aged in roughly 20% new French oak, yielding a beautifully approachable yet immensely age-worthy Pommard.

Tasting Notes

Pours a deep, brilliant ruby. The nose is incredibly aromatic and complex, offering a compelling bouquet of spiced cherry and dried flowers, intricately woven with nuances of red tea, orange rind, and crushed iron. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, powerfully structured yet exceptionally silky. The brooding earthy spice character envelops a core of ripe red fruit, supported by fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity that drive a long, complex, and immensely elegant finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at 15–17°C (59–62°F) in large Burgundy bowls to best capture the wine's deeply complex aromatics.
  • Decanting: Aerate for 45–60 minutes in its youth. Pairs magnificently with roasted game birds, duck breast, or a savory wild mushroom tart. Best enjoyed from 2027 through 2042.
