For the Fourrier Bourgogne Rouge, only the Pinot Noir grapes from vines over 30 years old are used to make the wines on the estate. The grapes are carefully selected in the vineyards, destemmed and not crushed at all for the fermentation process. The wines are aged for approximately 16 - 20 months, using only a small percentage of new oak (approximately 20%). The wines are not crossed and are transferred to cuves two months before bottling. They are characterized by their pure fruit, they are strongly terroir dominated and possess great elegance. For several years now, Fourrier's wines have been particularly in demand, he enjoys absolute star status and his wines are among the most sought-after red Burgundies.
