This white Chorey-lès-Beaune is a superb discovery. With its fruitiness, lovely freshness, and silky texture, it will be the perfect accompaniment to eggs en meurette! Lively when young, it will gain suppleness as it ages and develop an even more flavorful richness.

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.”
