Founded in the 1930s by Fernand Pernot, the estate came to be known as Pernot-Fourrier after Fernand's nephew Jean-Claude Fourrier came into the fold, fully taking control in 1969. The foresight of adding a wealth of vineyard land early on has become the backbone of what exists today, as Fourrier owns vineyards in Gevrey, Chambolle, Morey-Saint-Denis and Vougeot, 10 hectares all told. One of the very first Burgundy Domaines to export to the US, Fourrier had faced a small decline in the 1980s, but Jean-Marie's emergence provided the spark to elevate Fourrier to what we know today.
