Domaine Forey Père et Fils

Regis Forey has made a fat, tender set of 2003s, which he describes as "too charming now."He harvested a very small crop beginning on August 23.Potential alcohol levels were in the very high 13.5% to 14% range and all the fruit was destemmed.Forey used carbonic snow to get the temperature of the grapes down to 15oC, but not the normal 8o to 10o, and thus the cold maceration was shorter than usual.With one exception, he did not acidify his village wines or crus; he punched down the cap twice a day during the active portion of the fermentation and then once a day after that.He used less new oak than usual to age the 2003s, as he did not want to dry the wines.Still, Forey told me that the SO2 combined quickly with the wines, and that he's afraid the vintage will prove to be oxidative.I found several of the 2003s a bit flaccid in November; it was the 2002s that stood out on my latest visit.
