Vintage Character Jean Marie Fourrier Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru 2020 is a Grand Cru Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. The 2020 vintage is widely regarded as strong in Burgundy: a warm, dry growing season produced small berries and concentrated fruit, while cool nights helped preserve freshness and aromatic lift. Mazoyères-Chambertin is known for combining Gevrey’s muscular depth with a more supple, floral side, and Fourrier’s old-vine parcel on limestone-rich, stony soils gives a wine of both intensity and finesse.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The nose is layered and expressive, offering black cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal and violet, followed by hints of orange zest, sweet spice and subtle earth. On the palate, it is silky yet authoritative, with finely woven tannins, vivid acidity and a concentrated core of red and dark berry fruit that fans out into a long, mineral finish. Wine Advocate rated this wine 94-96 points, underscoring its pedigree and cellaring promise. Pair it with roast duck with cherry glaze, venison loin, or wild mushroom risotto.
Winery Background Based in Gevrey-Chambertin, Jean Marie Fourrier is one of Burgundy’s most admired small domaines, with Jean-Marie Fourrier having led the estate since the mid-1990s after formative experience with Henri Jayer. The domaine is celebrated for meticulous vineyard work, including old-vine stewardship, careful hand-harvesting and a largely non-interventionist philosophy in the cellar. Fermentations are gentle, extraction is restrained, and the wines are typically bottled without fining or filtration to preserve site expression. Fourrier’s decision to bottle this Grand Cru as Mazoyères-Chambertin, rather than under the Charmes-Chambertin name also permitted here, highlights a commitment to terroir precision that collectors deeply value.
