Didier Fornerol’s wines have earned a devoted following for their precision and honesty, and his Côte de Nuits-Villages has become one of the true insider bottlings of the region. Sourced from old vines in Corgoloin and Comblanchien, areas with deep limestone beds and a reputation for quietly age-worthy Pinot Noir, this cuvée punches above its designation. The 2013 vintage has developed beautifully and now shows the kind of detail and composure that Burgundy drinkers look for in mature bottles.
The aromas reveal red cherry, dried strawberry and soft woodland notes, with gentle spice in the background. The palate is seamless and refined, its tannins fully settled and its acidity still giving the wine direction and clarity. Nothing feels overstated, it’s simply a beautifully evolved expression of Côte de Nuits—subtle, composed, and rewarding for those who appreciate mature Burgundy.
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Appellation: Côte de Nuits-Villages, Burgundy, France
Farming: Sustainable vineyard work
Style: Red. Mature, refined and compelling
