"Medium ruby colour. Very appealing, complex nose of raspberries, truffles, loam and a whiff of violets. There's a medium+ level of silky tannins giving the palate a beautiful texture while medium to high acidity provides both further structure and ample freshness. Great concentration of fruit and earth flavours, long layered finish. Just starting to be approachable now but should continue to develop and drink to 2016. Tasted November 2008." 91 points - Lisa Perotti-Brown - In Asia
DOMAINE:
"Most famous for their Bonnes-Mares and their âClos Marionâ, the family business of Domaine Fougeray de Beauclair was founded about 1979 when Jean-Louis Fougeray, the father of the current owners, a man who by day worked in administration and by night tending his vines, made his very first cuvée. It was from a quarter hectare of Marsannay vines â in the family since 1972 â this was the start for Domaine Fougeray."
"That Marsannay cuvée was only 500 bottles and Jean-Louis took them all to Paris to sell. Laurence Olliver (née Fougeray) says that her father was âborn to work in the vineyard, it was his passionâ. If Jean-Louis took the first steps to commercialisation, it was his father (the grandfather of Laurence and her sister Evelyne) that sowed the seeds for the size of the current operation (18 hectares); he had worked with the Clair family of the renowned Clair-Daü estate and there was a strong bond of friendship. That bond continued into the next generation with Bernard Clair and Jean-Louis Fougeray."
"For family reasons that are best left in the Clair family, in 1986 Bernard Clair was retiring and decided that he would lease some vines to his friend Jean-Louis Fougeray who was by then already exploiting 11 hectares, rather than as expected pass them to the next generation of the Clairs. Those were not just any old vines, they included a special parcel of Bonnes-Mares, some Chambolle-Musigny and more Marsannay. In so doing, they grounded the re-named Domaine Fougeray de Beauclair â âBeauclairâ coming from a blend of Jean-Louisâ wifeâs name and Clair."
"Day to day responsibility for the domaine now rests with Jean-Louisâ daughter Laurence and her husband Patrice Olliver. They also own a wine-making operation in the Languedoc (Mas Val Grieux) which, starting in 1999 they created themselves, rather than buying an existing operation. Jean-Louis still works, but now in the Languedoc." -BurgundyReport.com
