Côte de Nuits Villages Rouge kommer fra tre forskellige parceller der ligger vest for landsbyen Corgoloin. Den ene er nær kirkegården, mens de andre to er i højere højde langs Route de Villiers. Det drejer sig om Le Croix de Sorbon, La Montagne og Clos Magny. Før 2021 årgangen indgik også druer fra Les Perrières. Vinstokkene er i gennemsnit 40 år gamle. Vinen ligger på fad i 14 til 16 måneder, hvoraf kun ca. 10% er nye fade.
En lækker næse med rød frugt der nærmest springer op af glasset. Vinen er meget aromatisk, og smagen er ligeledes bred med masser af røde bær og mineralitet. Den kan nydes allerede nu, men kan også fint lagres fint i 5-7 år.
Rosende ord og flotte 92 point til Didier Fornerols 2019 Côte de Nuits Village Rouge fra The Wine Advocate, William Kelly:
“Immensely charming, Fornerol's 2019 Côte de Nuits-Villages soars from the glass with scents of wild berries, rose petals, mulberries, exotic spices and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's lively and concentrated, with a seamless profile and a long, perfumed finish.
I'm mortified that it has taken me so long to report to the Wine Advocate's readers on the impressive wines of Didier Fornerol. But better late than never. After over a decade at Domaine d'Arlot, Fornerol returned to his six-hectare family domaine in Corgoloin in 1999, and ever since—based on older bottles that I've recently had the occasion to drink—he has been turning out terrific wines. There's no smoke or mirrors at this address, just thoughtful viticulture, vinification with a considerable percentage of whole clusters and careful élevage in barrel with minimal percentages of new oak. The results are striking wines that would embarrass, nay humiliate, plenty of winemakers' grander appellations in a blind tasting—and not just out of the gates, but with bottle age too. Complex, perfumed and elegant, the wines merit a place in any serious Burgundy lover's cellar, and the modest tariff they command proves that great Burgundy remains, for the time being, accessible to all.”
