Producer Information

Didier Fornerol was the vineyard manager at Domaine de LArlot. Fornerol learned his winemaking skills by his fathers side, and took over his familys domaine in 1996. Today, Fornerol carries out all the vineyard tasks with passion: pruning, trellising, treatments, and manual harvest. He controls operations from winemaking to bottling with the utmost care. The domaine is made up of 6 hectares in the village of Corgoloin (3.70 hectares of Ctes de Nuits-Villages red and 0.60 hectares of Ctes de Nuits-Villages white) and very small amounts of Passetoutgrain, Aligot and Bourgogne Regionale. The vineyard is managed using minimal amounts of synthetic treatment products and the young vines are strictly pruned to limit their yields. Jean-Pierre de Smet joined the winemaking team upon his retirement from Domaine de lArlot and works closely with Didier on all aspects of the winemaking. An avid believer in whole cluster fermentation, Didier makes wines that are a prime example of old school Burgundy at its best!
