The Story
From a 0.40-hectare parcel in Corgoloin, this Aligoté bears the hallmark of Didier Fornerol's philosophy: whole-cluster fermentation at low temperatures over three months, followed by aging in old barrels. The result brims with character—green apple skin, bitter almond, and gunflint minerality create a refreshing wine with substance and purity. Fornerol's former role as vineyard and cellar manager at Domaine de l'Arlot established his credentials; this wine proves he's among Burgundy's most exciting independent voices.
