Reviews 89-91 points Wine Advocate "The 2013 Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru Clos Sorbe has an open and inviting bouquet with raspberry sorbet and orange blossom: real pinote here. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe tannins, good depth, not as complex as some of the other premier crus from Jean-Marie but with a velvety texture that will appeal to many. Very fine. (NM)" 90-92 points Burghound "This isn't quite as aromatically refined as the Petits Vougeot but it's certainly very pretty with a lovely array of various red berry fruit scents that are laced with hints of spice, earth and violets. There is excellent purity and intensity to the chiseled middle weight flavors that possess fine length on the lightly mineral-infused finale. (AM)"

About Domaine Fourrier
Domaine Fourrier is a winery that embodies the essence of terroir-driven winemaking. The estate's Pinot Noirs are a testament to the fact that great wine starts in the vineyard. The Domaine's vineyards, situated in some of Gevrey-Chambertin's most fabled sites, are home to 60 to 100-year-old vines that are the backbone of the Domaine's wines. These ancient vines, with deep root systems, accentuate the unique terroir-driven character that is synonymous with Domaine Fourrier.
Fourth-generation owner, Jean-Marie Fourrier, who took over in 1994, is a winemaker with meticulous attention to detail. He is obsessive about fruit quality and will sell any grapes that don't meet his high standards, including grapes coming from vines less than 30 years old. His top wines include Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St. Jacques, Chambertin, Combe aux Moines, and Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses.
In the cellar, Jean-Marie Fourrier uses a minimalist approach, allowing the grapes to express the unique character of the crus they come from. The wines are fermented with native yeasts and aged in mostly used oak barrels for an extended period, resulting in wines with superb balance, enchanting elegance, finesse, and intense aromatic complexity. These wines are undeviating in superiority and, as the Wine Advocate notes, "there can be no overlooking either the consistently excellent results Jean-Marie Fourrier achieves, nor the extreme paucity and remarkable quality" of these wines.
