Régis Forey was a late picker in 2015 and a number of his wines struck me as a bit exotic, if not topheavy. I preferred his ‘14s, which are more in the classic style of this estate: savory, taut and structured to evolve slowly. In ’14 Forey was a relatively early harvester in the context of the village of Vosne-Romanée. His brief comparison of these two sets of wines: “The 14s don't tire you out the way the '15s do."

Régis Forey started harvesting relatively early in 2014, on September 13, but noted that he had to wait for phenolic maturity (he didn't start picking until September 12 in 2015, which was quite late in the context of that vintage). The relatively early picking, he believes, has given the 2014s more thrust and dynamism. He told me he did very little chaptalization. Forey describes his young 2014s as "saline and digestible, even a bit taut." He added that the 2013s are rounder and better balanced, with lower acidity."The '13s have more tannins and may be in the process of closing down now, while the 2014s are livelier." Forey vinified the '14s with about 40% whole clusters and now does minimal punchdowns during the fermentation--an average of one per day.
