From vines planted in 1988 totaling .75 hectare, the parcel is situated at the one of the highest points and at the limit of the Saint-Aubin appellation on border of the Grand Cru of Chevalier-Montrachet.
The soil is very calcareous, the distorted and deformed stones create an outcropping in the shape of dog teeth (hence, the name).
En Remilly Premier Cru vineyard is even more of a jewel. Lying a little lower but angled at an even steeper pitch, this hard and rocky hillside produces deeper, weightier fruit that can handle a higher percentage of new oak. Jérôme melds its floral aromatics and stone fruit with a fine bead of acidity that seems to skitter over salt-flecked stone. Length, weight, persistence, and high-toned energy come together in intriguing variations across Fornerot’s lineup of whites, whose textural richness Jérôme amplifies with gentle bâtonnage before malolactic conversion.
