Régis Forey told me that his crop losses to frost in 2016 were greatest in Prémeaux and that his vines in Clos Vougeot and Echézeaux were essentially spared. But at this point, he noted, he doesn’t see any clear differences between his frosted and non-frosted wines. Forey, who started picking on the late side, on September 29, finds more red fruits—especially raspberry—than black in his young ‘16s. He also finds these wines more minerally and taut than his ’15s (he vinified most of his ‘16s with about 40% whole clusters).
The earlier vintage has good structure and tannins for aging, but he noted that the ‘15s have been closing down in bottle in the last few months. Forey totally destemmed in 2015 “owing to big, tannic seeds: I did not want to make overly tannic wines.” Incidentally, I also got the impression that he prefers his ‘14s to his ‘15s “for their typicity, mineral character and chiseled quality.” I should note that the samples I tasted from tonneaux had not yet been racked or sulfured.
