RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

This smells of black cherry, flowers, curry powder, and a whiff of smoke. Deep, rich, clear black fruits and subtle spices on the plush, fine-grained palate lead to an undeniably somber, darkly-fruited but impressively-long finish...

91+ Stephen Tanzer

Blackberry and bitter chocolate on the nose. Suave and silky on entry, then tight and reticent in the mid-palate, with piquant minerally acidity giving definition to the blackberry and cassis flavors.

91Burghound.com

A very spicy black cherry and raspberry fruit nose is set off by moderate wood toast , mocha and plus notes that merge into mineral-infused and admirably concentrated full-bodied flavors that retain a fine sense of delineation and a lovely textured mouth feel on the chewy, long and moderately austere finish...

PRODUCER

Domaine Forey Pere & Fils

Domaine Forey Pere & Fils was founded in 1840 by the great-grandfather of Regis Forey, the current owner and winemaker. The 25-acre domaine has parcels in Nuits Saint Georges, Vosne-Romanee, Flagey-Echezeaux, Vougeot and Morey Saint Denis. There are Grand Cru parcels in Echezeaux and Clos de Vougeot, and Premier Crus in Vosne-Romanee, Nuits Saint Georges and Morey Saint Denis. Clive Coates has noted that starting in the mid-1990s the domaine has been using such techniques as partial de-stemming, a short maceration a froid and a cuvaison of up to four weeks. “This results in full, muscular wine,” wrote Coates. “This is now a very good address.”

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanee, Les Petits Monts

Les Petits Monts is a 9-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Vosne-Romanee appellation of Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. This small vineyard is divided up into about 20 individually-owned parcels.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
