Wine Advocate
The Fourrier 2008 Chambolle Musigny Les Gruenchers is strikingly saline and carnal as well as tartly red-berry saturated. Finely-chiseled in its expression of fruit and mineral precision, but correspondingly hard-edged, it comes back with formidable persistence of saliva-inducing intensity of salted meat stock and bright berry fruit that suggest to me a wine with the better part of a decade’s worth of reserves, provided one isn’t put off by its somewhat spare texture. This is clearly among the more backward and/or bottle-shocked wines in the present collection.

Good medium red. Sappy aromas of raspberry, blueberry and stone lifted by violet and dried rose. Very rich and sweet but with lovely mineral energy and a sound core of acidity. Sappy but not quite peppery. For all its fruit, this concentrated, very long wine finishes with exhilarating saline soil tones.

Here the red currant and plum fruit aromas are a bit riper and introduce nicely rich and textured middle weight flavors that possess good depth of material and fine length on the tension filled finish. This should reward 6 to 8 years of cellar time.
