2010 Forey Pere & Fils, Nuits-Saint-Georges, 1er Cru Les Perrieres

The 2010 Domaine Forey Père & Fils Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Perrieres is a clear expression of Régis Forey’s approach, which favors technical precision and structural depth over superficial fruit charm. The vineyard, situated on the northern end of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, features limestone-rich soils that impart a characteristic mineral backbone and structural tension to the wine. In the cellar, Forey employs a measured vinification with cold maceration and judicious extraction, followed by a long elevage in barrel to allow the wine’s architecture to resolve naturally. The 2010 vintage provided a slow, cool growing season, which proved essential in preserving the nerve and vibrant acidity necessary to frame the site’s innate density. The result is a traditionally built Pinot Noir defined by its firm-grained tannins and significant aging potential.
