Complementing these fine terroirs are 4 red Premiers Crus: 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 round out this range, the Follin Arbelet estate also offers an Aloxe Corton village red, sourced from 2 plots located on the edge of the 1ers crus. Although descended from an old Aloxe Corton family that once owned prestigious appellations, Franck Follin Arbelet is the first member of his lineage to devote himself entirely to the Follin Arbelet estate, both in viticulture and winemaking. After higher studies in Geology in Montpellier, he chose to return to Burgundy and make viticulture his career. He began in 1990 with a first Aloxe Corton plot farmed under a lease; the Premiers Crus followed in 1993, then the Grands Crus, which enabled Franck Follin Arbelet to benefit from prestigious cuvées. At the Follin Arbelet estate, the approach to vine cultivation comes close to organic farming, with a classic winemaking style that respects both the grape and the character of the vintage. All wines are then gravity-fed into barrels in the cellars beneath the winery, in oak casks: 15 to 75% new barrels are used each year depending on the appellation, and ageing periods range from 16 to 20 months, according to the appellation and the nature of the vintages. Worth noting is the absence of wine filtration, which preserves their richness, complexity, and ageing potential. In terms of tasting, the Aloxe Corton 1er Cru Clos du Chapitre from Follin Arbelet is positioned at the heart of the village of Aloxe Corton and consistently yields very early ripening. It is always here that the harvesters begin first. The wine offers abundant aromas from an early age; its spicy, deep, and sappy style will appeal both to the impatient and to those who wish to cellar it for 5 to 8 years. The Aloxe Corton 1er Cru Les Vercots, of which the Follin Arbelet estate owns more than 1 hectare, is positioned like an island amid a village-appellation zone. This climat produces wines of fine stature, concentrated, with great persistence and keeping potential. The Corton Bressandes from Follin Arbelet produces small, highly concentrated yields thanks to its old vines, and while the wine displays a fairly vigorous character with a blood-tinged note on opening, it retains supple and silky tannins that will make it an excellent table companion for 10 years and beyond. Finally, situated on a soil of brown limestone and clay resting on a limestone bedrock is the Romanée Saint Vivant Grand Cru. The plot farmed by the Follin Arbelet estate adjoins that of the domaine de la Romanée Conti. The wine offers a truly velvety touch and a superb intensity of flavours. It is a delicate and profound Grand Cru, with radiant fruit and aromas that are at once floral and spicy, underpinned by sappy, velvety tannins and a dynamic finish. As this Grand Cru from Follin Arbelet is somewhat more austere in its youth, it is advisable to wait at least 10 years in order to enjoy it at its best.
