Jérome Fornerot, Saint-Aubin Rouge Premier Cru 'Les Perrières' 2020

Over the last couple decades, the quality of Saint-Aubin has experienced hockey stick growth. Coinciding with that has been the rise of Jérome Fornerot. While many pinot noir plots in Saint-Aubin have been pulled in favor of chardonnay, Fornerot insists that some areas are more suited to red grapes. The stony hillside of Les Perrieres is one of them. This is ideal for anyone who prefers Red Burgundy that’s more about elegance than raw power.

Tastes like: Strawberry, roses, roasted mushroom. 

How to drink: With mushroom agnolotti or a smashburger.
