Sep 28th, 2018Fantastic region-level white Burgundy by Didier Fornerol (former cellar master at Domaine de L’Arlot, back in the 1990s). It comes from a tiny 0.20 hectare plot in Corgoloin, the southernmost village of the Côte de Nuits (it is one of the villages without appellation, lumped together Comblanchien, Brochon, Fixin and Premeaux under the Côtes de Nuits-Villages appellation). Aged for 12 months in oak barrels, 20% new. Classic-style, quite oaky, with notes of vanilla, minerals, beeswax and a hint of fennel. Medium to full-bodied, rich and layered. Citrus flavors and some minerals. Long finish, great texture

Quite a rich white burg (and higher alcohol too - 14.5%). Still enjoyed a good bit. Appley fruit, quite intense, some straw, good acid. Pretty balanced and nice.
