Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
Follin Arbelet, Aloxe Corton, Clos du Chapitre, 1er Cru, 2015

Exquisitely fine Aloxe, velvety ripe forest fruit with touches of red cherry and damson. Pure crystalline and fresh, pretty and charming, but with a gentle grip, giving focus and structure to the wine. Long, pure and floral on the finish. A beauty that should age gracefully. The lighter limestone clay soils of the Clos du Chapitre tends to make for a finer, rounder and fruitier style of Aloxe than the classic vineyards such as Fournières and Vercots.

Follin Arbelet

Since Frank Follin inherited vines originally under the control of the Louis Latour empire, he has been making sublime wines of concentration, purity and complexity. All of his vines from Aloxe-Corton, Corton, Pernand-Vergelesses and Romanée St Vivant are tended by hand and respectfully protected from any form of insecticide or pesticide, each betraying individuality, polish and great purity. By large the wines are de-stalked here but fermentations sometimes include up to 20% whole berry ferment depending on the vintage or cuvée, resulting in wines of suave, velvet textures. His cellars are cool and deep, so this process and the elevage are long, slow and gentle with minimal intervention, new oak percentages being kept to below 40%.
