Follin-Arbelet
Founded by Franck Follin-Arbelet and now run by his incredibly talented son Simon, their ancestors used to own vineyards in Aloxe-Corton but they had to sell them off towards of the end of the 19th century. Franck used to spend his holidays in the village, working part-time in the vineyards, and he ended marrying a local girl, Christine, whose family owned enough vines for him to set up on his own as a vigneron, bringing the family connection full circle.
The estate now produce some wonderful wines from Aloxe-Corton as well as Pernand-Vergelesses that offer tremendous value for money whilst also carving out fine expressions of both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from their Grand Cru holdings including Corton Charlemagne and Romanée St. Vivant.

Like the Romanée-Saint-Vivant, this is sourced from the Poisot family. |

Medium to full-bodied, elegant and fine-boned, it's pure and precise, with a more ethereal profile than the richer, more soil-driven Aloxe-Corton premiers crus that preceded it. |
