Aloxe-Corton Follin-Arbelet (Domaine) 2008

The wine

The wine comes from two parcels bordering premier cru land. These 0.8 hectares produce a rounded and fresh wine that can be enjoyed in youth but can wait a few years to fully express itself. The wine is complex, with a fruity character and lightly spiced notes. The texture is creamy yet has a beautiful acidity and aromas of small wild blackberries. It is direct and limpid; a true expression of its terroir.

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.
