Description
Domaine Forey Père & Fils, Vosne-Romanée
Beloved by Burgundy purists, this small property is a treasure trove of classically styled, “old school” Burgundies from Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, and Morey-Saint-Denis. This village-level Vosne is a profoundly expressive—yet tiny production—Pinot Noir from vines averaging 40 years of age. Proprietor Régis Forey ages this wine in a mix of used French oak barriques and larger demi-muids; his wines are known to be powerfully structured and deeply mineral-driven in their youth—built to age well for decades. If opening a bottle of this 2017 today, be sure to decant it at least one hour before serving, to allow its tannins to soften and its dark cherry fruit to emerge.
