Description
Fourneaux is a small, steeply sloping Premier Cru in the Grossots’ home village of Fleys. One parcel is south-facing, giving a generous and tropical fruit, while the other faces east, providing freshness. One-third of the wine spends nine months in barrel before being blended into tank with the rest of the wine. Layered and long, this is a very seductive wine.

Critics reviews
Allen Meadows 89-91/100
From Côte de Près Girots and Morein with partial wood élevage.
A pungent nose is still carrying some residual secondary fermentation nuances, which make it tough to accurately read. More interesting are the lightly mineral-inflected larger-bodied flavours that flash moderate muscle and power on the clean, dry, youthfully austere and slightly rustic finale.
Drink from 2027 onward
