Fourrier, Gevrey Chambertin Echezeaux Vv other_regions_italy Pierre Lurton and technical director

Pierre Lurton and technical director Pierre-Olivier Clouet told me that the final blend is 72% merlot and 28% cabernet franc (it was 75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc during the Primeurs)

with youthfully firm tannins adding shape and final grip

and an overall elegant feel that belies its underlying concentration and density

at the edge of the Himalayas

It's a little gruff compared to the sleeker incarnation of today's Le Pavillon but nonetheless is very Hermitage

Fourrier, Gevrey Chambertin Echezeaux Vv other_regions_italy Pierre Lurton and technical directorAn expressive nose of relatively high toned red currant, floral and warm earth scents precedes the equally refined and delineated middle weight flavors that culminate in a balanced, complex and beautifully persistent finish. This is notably finer than the old vines cuve if not quite a long or concentrated. Still this is lovely and also worth your consideration as it should drink reasonably well young. (89 91) 2020+
