Description

If you want to taste the essence of Bourgogne’s terroirs, look no further than the Bourgogne Côte d’Or appellation. It covers the prestigious Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits, where some of the world’s finest wines are made. The Cuvee des Forgets perfectly exemplifies this appellation’s charm and elegance. It comes from clay soils in the Côte de Beaune, which give it a rich and round texture. The aromas are enticing and complex, with ripe white and yellow fruits, fragrant flowers and hints of toast. The palate is lively and balanced, with crisp acidity and a long finish. This is a wine that will delight your senses with its freshness and expressiveness.
