2023 Didier Fornerol, Cote de Nuits-Villages Rouge

The 2023 Didier Fornerol Côte de Nuits-Villages Rouge offers a quintessential expression of Pinot Noir from Burgundy's historic Côte de Nuits AOC. Sourced from shallow, brown limestone soils around Corgoloin, the wine reflects Fornerol's *lutte raisonnée* farming practices and his masterful commitment to whole-cluster fermentation for reds. The 2023 vintage, characterized by a generous crop and ample rainfall followed by late-season warmth, yielded approachable, fruity red wines with a brighter profile and silky tannins. This release exemplifies Fornerol's profound understanding of his terroir and his revered old-school Burgundian craft, a philosophy honed through years alongside Jean-Pierre de Smet at Domaine de L'Arlot.
