The union bought vines from both sides, including a parcel of Griotte-Chambertin and a parcel in Clos Saint-Jacques. For some time, the wines were sold as Pernot-Fourrier, and there is considerable evidence to suggest these offerings were well-received. Clive Coates says he has “fond memories of the wines of the period”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, unmarried and childless, it seems that Pernot all-but forced his nephew, Jean-Claude Fourrier, to take the reins. After Pernot passed away in 1981, responsibility for the estate lay solely with Jean-Claude, a reluctant winemaker whose wines, most agree, were not particularly inspiring, causing many critics to set the Domaine to one side.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFifteen years later, however, and the estate’s fortunes had completely turned around, thanks largely to the influence of Jean-Claude’s son, Jean Marie. Working with his father since 1989, and having received the tutelage of the great Henri Jayer, he took over completely in 1994 and began a programme of rejuvenation: yields were reduced, new equipment was installed, cellars was renovated. What exists now is a thriving Domaine, resurrected from the crypt of disinterest, and one of the most important producers in the Gevrey-Chambertin area, creating a large portfolio of excellent wines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vine Arts","offers":[{"title":"45083058929976","offer_id":47961460900152,"sku":"896121","price":748.59,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/8739\/2312\/files\/10501972-Domaine_Fourrier_Mazoyeres-Chambertin_Grand_Cru_2021.jpg?v=1709937992","url":"https:\/\/vinearts.ca\/products\/domaine-fourrier-mazoyeres-chambertin-grand-cru-2021","provider":"Vine Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
