Domaine Follin Arbelet

Located in the heart of the village Aloxe-Corton, Domaine Follin-Arbelet operates and makes wine a great range of titles on the town and its surroundings, composed of three Grands Crus red, a Grand Cru white, red four First Growths, and a designation Village, the wine is representative of the best soils of the hillside of Corton. Although he came from an old family Aloxe-Corton formerly owned prestigious appellations, Frank Follin Arbelet is the first to focus on viticulture and winemaking.

The cellars and winery are located in the village center of Aloxe-Corton in a beautiful and remarkable setting. The beautiful homestead, built in 1764, is typical Burgundian architecture, housing the first and second floors, shop and winery on the ground floor and cellar in the basement. Cellars, certainly deeper in the village are particularly cold and wet. A well there has also been increased. These conditions, although sometimes a bit sparse for tasting, are particularly beneficial for the development and breeding of fine wines.
Franck favours the most simple and natural form of farming possible. The grapes are entirely destemmed, vinified in wooden vats for about two weeks. The wines are aged for 18 months in barrel, initially with 20 to 25 per cent new wood before racking into older casks after 12 months.
