Vines planted between 1955-1960. Vineyards are sustainably farmed, all grapes are harvested by hand and sorted, 100% of the grapes are de-stemmed, parcels are all vinified separately in open-topped, wooden vats, natural fermentations with indigenous yeasts.Grapes are pressed immediately after harvest. Juice is racked directly into fûts after one night of decanting. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in tonneaux for anywhere from several weeks to months.
"It is always a pleasure to present some grand cru Burgundy on these pages. Follin-Arbelet has been a huge success story for us, as our clients have come to fully appreciate the depth of the man and his wines. The domaine may just be one of the (formerly) best-kept secrets in Burgundy. Follin’s Corton-Charlemagne is one of the great examples of this noble and historic vineyard site. This white will need ten years to truly blossom and will live for many more." - Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
