It's back - our favorite sparkling pink Nebbiolo from Italy. At first, a bizarre idea, but turns out deliciously here. The wine’s a pretty pale salmon pink color with brilliant highlights and zesty bubbles. The aromas suggest Nebbiolo – cherries, strawberries, red flowers, perhaps some tar. Then in them mouth there’s lots of bright berry fruit framed by notes of basil and mint. The ripe fruit builds towards the middle before everything finishes clean, crisp, and dry with lingering cherry/berry fruit and mouthwatering acidity. A really good sparkling rosé that’s fun to look at and a delight to drink.
- Dom Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Echezeaux 2008 Product #24380 (In Stock)

Planted in 1930, Fourrier’s plot sits directly under Charmes-Chambertin on the border with Morey St. Denis. This reminds one of Chambolle, with spicy red fruits and a rich, round, texture. Lovely.
“An intensely, even pungently earthy nose of red and dark berry fruit is very much in keeping with the firm, precise and layered flavors that possess a lovely sense of relief and tension on the solidly long finish. This is very Gevrey in character and offers fine quality for a villages. Drink 2013+”Allen Meadows 87-90 points
"Fourrier’s 2008 Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Echezeaux (from nearly 90 year-old vines) is intensely scented with kirsch, herbs, and sea spray, which adumbrate its bright, saline, firm but not hard or angular palate impression. Strong cherry pit, stone, and charred meat notes lend this energetic but athletically lean and bright Gevrey a hint of austerity, but it has me salivating uncontrollably. For those who like the style and pair the wine creatively, this should give plenty of pleasure over at least the next 6-8 years, though as Fourrier is eager to concur with me, following the course of 2008s in bottle is bound to mean venturing into relatively uncharted territory."Wine Advocate 89 points

A bit of a misnomer, since Fourrier sells all of the fruit he grows from vines less than 30 years old. The VV comes from the northern end of Gevrey and is always dense and solid with loads of strawberry fruit and a firm finish. A fascinating contrast to the Aux Echezaux and, drunk alongside it, a nice demonstration of terroir.
“Palish red. Captivating, expressive aromas of cherry, smoke, mocha and underbrush; slightly exotic in a positive way. Sweet on entry, then sappy in the middle, thanks to firm acidity and a saline quality. Complex, soil-driven wine but not at all dry.”International Wine Cellar 90 points
