About Winery
Raised in Gevrey-Chambertin with deep family roots in winemaking, Jean-Marie Fourrier studied oenology at the University of Dijon and apprenticed with legendary Henri Jayer, as well as working at Domaine Drouhin in Oregon and wineries in California and Australia. When he inherited the domaine in 1994, he brought a philosophy of minimal intervention and respect for terroir, abandoning herbicides, relying on native yeasts, and limiting new oak to under 20%. The estate’s holdings include prized old-vine parcels in Gevrey, Chambolle, Morey, and Vougeot, many planted between the 1930s and 1950s, which give his wines remarkable depth and character. Fourrier’s approach emphasizes purity, balance, and drinkability—his belief being that the best wine is the one enjoyed and finished at the table. Today, Domaine Fourrier is celebrated worldwide for producing authentic, expressive Burgundy wines that combine tradition with Jean-Marie’s precise, modern sensibility.
