Average Critic Score: 91.0/100 based on 2 critic reviews
Jean-Marie Fourrier has made Domaine Fourrier one of the most admired addresses in Gevrey-Chambertin, with a gentle, low-sulphur approach that puts vineyard character first. Cherbaudes is a premier cru lying just below Chambertin-Clos de Beze, and the old-vine bottling is a Gevrey of stony, savoury depth. The 2007 Jean-Marie Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Cherbaudes Vieille Vigne earned 92 points from Stephen Tanzer (Vinous) and 90 points from David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate), who both remarked on its smoky minerality and long, building finish.
Red raspberry, smoky minerality and a whiff of crushed rocks on the inviting nose. Dense, ripe and impressively rich, with the rocky quality carrying through in the mouth and leavening the wine's impression of glyceral sweetness. Wonderfully round, broad wine with a very long, ripely tannic, building finish. - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (92 pts)
A grower Gevrey-Chambertin from a benchmark domaine, with the bottle age to show what the vineyard can do.

“Good medium red. Red raspberry, smoky minerality and a whiff of crushed rocks on the inviting nose. Dense, ripe and impressively rich, with the rocky quality carrying through in the mouth and leavening the wine's impression of glyceral sweetness. Wonderfully round, broad wine with a very long, ripely tannic, building finish.”
90 Points - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate
“Marrow and meat stock dominate, but ripe red fruits, licorice, and crushed stone add to the interest of Fourrier's 2007 Gevrey-Chambertin Cherbaudes. Firm tannins - allied with the sense of stoniness - make for a somewhat austere aspect, but glycerin richness and concentration of red berries and meat stock help keep the feel from degenerating into rusticity or roughness. The intense interplay of meat, berry and rock renders the finish memorably long and interesting. I suspect this will age nicely for 7-10 years.”
