Art is evolutionary. Winemaking is too. These wines bear my name... They are what I have learned during my life and what I have become. They represent maturity and wisdom and demonstrate presence and dimension: A culmination of my decades old love affair with wine and life. Extremely Limited.
Pinot Noir Chapter VII
Sonoma Coast
The FOURMEAUX 2021 Chapter VII Pinot Noir is our most reminiscent of red Burgundy. This cooler site in Forestville creates an ethereal, delicate, and elegant wine. Ripe and juicy raspberry, kirsch, and blood orange radiate from the glass. Complex, earthy undertones of black tea, moist forest floor, and herbs follow. Polished tannins nicely frame the crisp yet delicate mouthfeel making this a pleasure to savor.
Enjoy with Simply Roast Chicken, Wild Mushroom Persillade, and Smoked Trout Pate

Chardonnay
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County
From the famed Bacigalupi Vineyard in Sonoma’s Russian River Valley Appellation (same vineyard as Chateau Montelena’s chardonnay that won the 1976 Judgement of Paris).
Pure Finesse. Truly a Chardonnay for the ages. Seductive and alluring aromas of lemon preserves, almond croissant and acacia blossoms are accented by exhilarating acidity and a richness that captivates your tastes buds with a long-luxurious finish.

Red Blend
Mount Veeder, Napa Valley
An Instant Classic!
“An undeniably stunning wine from perhaps one of THE vintage's of the century in the Napa Valley-a new benchmark of refinement.” -Jean-Noel Fourmeaux
The 2021 Fourmeaux Red Wine soars out of the glass with vibrant ripe blackberries, black cherries and fresh red and black currants plus wafts of licorice, candied violets & cedar chest. The most impressive quality of this beautiful wine is its incredible length and depth of character and flavors. On the palate, it is polished with ultra-fine velvety tannins, pure pleasure!
Along with the 2013, 2016, 2018, 2019 the 2021 vintage is a classic not to miss!
