2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Echezeaux Fourrier

This is earthier still with its well-layered nose of cassis, humus and sauvage hints. There is excellent detail to the more obviously mineral-driven flavors that are a lovely combination of power and punch, all wrapped in a wonderfully refreshing, firm and well-balanced finale. Worth considering.

Medium red. Wild aromas of red cherry, strawberry, smoke and game. Sweet, plush red fruit flavors convey a candied nuance but ripe acidity gives shape to the middle palate. The wild, gamey quality carries through onto the palate and is joined by an element of saline minerality. The chewy finish shows good length.
