Complementing these beautiful terroirs are 4 red Premiers Crus, namely the 2 Aloxe Corton Premiers Crus "Clos du Chapitre" and "Les Vercots", and the 2 Pernand Vergelesses 1ers Crus "En Caradeux" and "Les Fichots". To complete this range, Domaine Follin Arbelet also offers a red Aloxe Corton village wine, which comes from 2 parcels located on the edge of the 1ers crus. Although from an old Aloxe Corton family, formerly owners of prestigious appellations, Franck Follin Arbelet proves to be the first descendant to devote himself entirely to Domaine Follin Arbelet, both to viticulture and vinification. After higher education studies in Geology in Montpellier, he chose to return to Burgundy and make viticulture his profession. He began in 1990 with a first parcel of Aloxe Corton operated under lease; followed by the Premiers Crus in 1993, then the Grands Crus which thus enabled Franck Follin Arbelet to benefit from prestigious cuvées. At Domaine Follin Arbelet, emphasis is placed on vineyard work that approaches organic farming, with a classic vinification style that respects both the grape and the nature of the vintage. All wines are then transferred by gravity into the cellars under the vat room, in oak barrels: 15 to 75% new barrels are used each year depending on the appellations, and aging periods vary from 16 to 20 months, depending on the appellations and the nature of the vintages. Note the absence of wine filtration, which preserves their richness and complexity, as well as their aging potential. Regarding wine tasting, the Aloxe Corton 1er Cru Clos du Chapitre from Follin Arbelet is positioned in the center of the village of Aloxe Corton, and it always yields very early maturities. This is always where the harvesters start first. The wine offers many aromas from its youth, its spicy, deep and silky style will appeal to the impatient, as well as those who wish to keep it for 5 to 8 years. The Aloxe Corton 1er Cru Les Vercots, of which Domaine Follin Arbelet owns more than 1 hectare, is positioned as an island in the middle of a village appellation sector. This climat produces wines of fine stature, concentrated, with great persistence, and suitable for aging. The Corton Bressandes from Follin Arbelet produces small very concentrated yields thanks to its old vines, and while the wine offers a rather vigorous character and displays a sanguine note on opening, it retains supple and silky tannins that will make it an excellent table companion for 10 years and more. Finally, on soil composed of brown limestone and clay laid over limestone rock is located the Romanée Saint Vivant Grand Cru. The parcel operated by Domaine Follin Arbelet adjoins that of Domaine de la Romanée Conti. The wine offers a true velvet touch and superb intensity of flavors. It is a delicate and deep Grand Cru, with bright fruit, and both floral and spicy accents supported by silky and velvety tannins, with a dynamic finish. This Grand Cru from Follin Arbelet being somewhat more austere in its youth, it is advisable to wait at least 10 years to enjoy it at its best.
