2004 Domaine Fourrier Chambolle-Musigny Vieille Vigne

This is an exceptional, fully mature village-level red Burgundy from one of the most highly collected and revered producers in the Côte de Nuits, Domaine Fourrier. Under the visionary stewardship of Jean-Marie Fourrier, the estate has attained cult status for its low-intervention, purity-driven approach. Fourrier famously utilizes very little new oak (typically under 20%) and avoids pumping or heavy filtering, preserving the natural CO2 to protect the wine. This Vieille Vigne (old vine) bottling is crafted from ancient, deeply rooted vines that yield small, highly concentrated grapes, allowing the wine to punch well above a standard village classification.
