Intensity
This wine comes from the same district as Corton-Charlemagne but because it is red, it is classified under the Corton appellation. It has a wonderful, deep, concentrated texture on the palate. To appreciate it at its best, pair with a full-flavoured piece of meat garnished with mushrooms such as a pan-fried ceps.

The wine
Planted with old vines producing low yields, this climat is home to wines that are typical of Corton: vigorous, but with supple, silky tannins.
About the Producer Follin-Arbelet
Franck Follin-Arbelet comes from a family of Aloxe-Corton who previously owned plots located in prestigious appellations. However, he is the first descendant to devote himself to viticulture and vinification, starting out in 1990 with a small plot in Aloxe-Corton.
His geology studies in Montpellier have given him a fine understanding of the terroirs. He develops real wines, using agriculture which is close to organic, sublimated by natural vinification and well-controlled maturation in wooden barrels. The wines are neither filtered nor fined in order to retain their authenticity and they suit being aged.
Today, he is supported by his son Simon in the 4.5 hectares of vines planted in Aloxe-Corton, on the Corton slope, in Pernand-Vergelesses and in Vosne-Romanée in the Côte de Nuits. A domain to discover.
