The 2022 Forey Père et Fils Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru “Les Perrières” is a powerful and refined Pinot Noir that captures the rugged elegance of this storied appellation in the Côte de Nuits. Domaine Forey Père et Fils, under the guidance of Régis Forey, is celebrated for producing structured and terroir-driven wines that age beautifully. The “Les Perrières” vineyard, located on the northern side of Nuits-Saint-Georges near Vosne-Romanée, benefits from well-draining limestone-rich soils that impart a distinctive minerality and precision.

In the glass, this wine displays a deep ruby hue. The nose is layered and enticing, offering aromas of ripe black cherries, redcurrants, and raspberries, interwoven with earthy notes of underbrush, subtle spice, and a touch of cedar. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with firm yet fine-grained tannins providing a sturdy framework. Vibrant acidity enhances the wine’s juicy red and dark fruit core, while notes of savory herbs, forest floor, and a whisper of graphite add depth and complexity. The finish is long and mineral-driven, with a refined persistence.
