"An intense and open 1er cru"
“A wine that frequently appears in these pages, and the 2019 vintage is a real hit. An intense and open 1er cru that unfolds with rich aromas of blackberry, lilac, and vanilla. A supple attack leads into a full-bodied, dense, and long finish, supported by fine, silky tannins and centered on ripe red fruit. A wine built for aging.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

About the wine:
Intense, brilliant color. Rich, distinct aromas of black cherries and blueberries… The wine is still a bit closed, but concentrated, dense, and well-balanced. Great potential!
About the estate:
The estate has 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 regulate fermentation temperatures. The soil is plowed, and the grapes are harvested by hand, with a sorting table at the reception area. The white wines are vinified traditionally and then aged for ten months, with 10% in new barrels. The reds undergo a three-week maceration period and are aged for twelve months (10% new oak for village appellations, 20% for premier crus). In some years, the quality of the grapes allows us to keep about 20% of the harvest as whole clusters; “We like a bit of ‘pinot character,’ balance is always important; we want to enhance aromatic complexity while maintaining depth—the tannins must support the wine.”

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Wine Spectator)
About the wine:
Silky and beautifully balanced, it reveals flavors of violet, raspberry, cherry, and vanilla. Although sumptuous, this red is also lively and elegant. It becomes more structured on the finish, with a fruit- and spice-infused aftertaste.
