Gevrey Chambertin, Clos St. Jacques, Vieille Vigne 2002 Domaine Fourrier (6 BT)

Gevrey Chambertin, Clos St. Jacques, Vieille Vigne 2002  

Domaine Fourrier  

Côte de Nuits, 1er Cru 

Levels into the neck, packed in 12 bottle oc 

In 2011, a wonderfully bloomy, warm nose of violets, undergrowth and bramble jam.  Inner power and yet subtlety.  One knows from the 'tension' that it will fill the mouth - and it does, in voluptuous style.  I thought it had the weight of a 1999 and that is because it is a real 'old vines' wine.  So fresh on the palate, bursting with fruit and vigour.  A year later, a bouquet of red cherries and wet earth, with density and the sheer fragrance of a top cru - this surges up at you.  Lovely immediacy and attack on the palate.  Redcurrants and liquorice.  Very young - it still has to develop all the complexity of this Grand Cru pretender.
