{"product_id":"didier-fornerol-bougogne-blanc-2024-750ml","title":"Didier Fornerol, Bougogne Blanc, 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eChardonnay made by a man who spent sixteen years running the vineyards and cellar at Domaine de l'Arlot, sold at a decidedly un-Burgundian price. Didier Fornerol left l'Arlot in 1998 after sixteen vintages under Jean-Pierre de Smet, took over his family's six hectares in Corgoloin at the southern end of the Côte de Nuits the following year, and has been quietly making some of the slope's best-value wine ever since — de Smet has come back to help in the cellar and at harvest since 2006. The whites are pressed in whole clusters, fermented slowly at low temperatures over about three months and raised mostly in used barrels, with new oak never above a fifth, which keeps the wine lean and lets the fruit speak for itself. 2024 was a brutal growing season in Burgundy — April frost, more than fifty percent above-average rain, rampant mildew and a tiny crop — but it produced the most classically fresh whites in a decade. Expect a taut, high-acid, mineral Bourgogne Blanc rather than a plush one, and drink it over the next several years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Cru Selections [GCR]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46386528649273,"sku":"NYC-GCR-`GCRU9514-24`-082426-9","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Didier-Fornerol-Bougogne-Blanc-2024-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1787841635","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/didier-fornerol-bougogne-blanc-2024-750ml","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
