Bourgogne Aujourd'hui
"From the 80 ares planted 35 years ago on this vineyard, comes an intense ruby-red wine that offers a tangy aroma of blackcurrant and blackberry against a backdrop of elegant oak with hints of cinnamon. On the palate, it is full-bodied, smooth, and balanced, with a lovely texture built around silky tannins and a long finish featuring fruit and licorice. It has aging potential.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021)

About the wine:
A juicy style, with vibrant acidity that highlights light notes of strawberry, cherry, and blackcurrant. It displays a beautifully intense mid-palate, with a mineral note on the finish.
About the estate:
The estate comprises twenty-two hectares of vineyards, including eight hectares of red Chorey and one hectare of white Chorey, with the remainder spread across Savigny, Aloxe-Corton, Beaune, and Pernand-Vergelesses. The entire harvest is bottled. Pascal Arnoux and his wife Caroline are now assisted by their son Jean-Baptiste with winemaking and vineyard work, and by their daughter Audrey with marketing and communications. Since 2014, the estate has had new temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to better manage fermentation temperatures. The soil is plowed, and the harvest is done by hand with a sorting table upon arrival. The whites are vinified traditionally and then aged for ten months, with 10% new oak. The reds undergo a three-week vatting period and are aged for twelve months (10% new oak for village appellations, 20% for premier crus). The quality of the grapes allows us to keep about 20% of the harvest whole in certain years; “We like it to have a Pinot character, balance is always important; we want to enhance aromatic complexity while maintaining depth, the tannins must support the wine.”
