Fornerot, Jérôme 2024 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Murgers des Dents de Chien

The grapes are handpicked and lightly crushed before being pressed in a pneumatic press. The juice is settled and placed into French oak barrels for fermentation with indigenous yeast, before being aged for 15 months in 15% new oak and then put in a vat for 3 months before bottling.

The resulting wine has great power with excellent balance. Beautiful purity of fruit with notes of golden apple with lemon and some white florals. The wine has strong minerality with great texture and a long, salty finish. At the bottom of my notes I just wrote, "simply delicious." Just in case I could somehow forget!
