2024 Didier Fornerol, Hautes Cotes de Nuits

Didier Fornerol manages his family estate in the village of Corgoloin, where he has dedicated his career to refining traditional Burgundian methods since taking over the domaine in 1999. This wine is made from Pinot Noir grown in stony soils located at a higher elevation west of the village, a site that consistently produces fruit with distinct mineral tones. In the glass, it reveals bright red fruit notes and a savory, lifted character, supported by a structured yet graceful texture typical of the domaine's whole-cluster fermentation approach. The 2024 vintage, marked by a classic and cooler ripening cycle, has contributed to a profile defined by tension, purity, and refined tannins. It is a balanced, drinkable expression that offers a clear window into the terroir of the Hautes-Côtes, making it a reliable choice for enjoyment now or over the next few years.
