Between Beaune and Volnay extends the vast vineyard of Pommard which unfolds on each side of a monumental combe. The plot "Les Arvelets" is located at the exit of this valley on the north slope. Exposed south with a clay-limestone soil rich in iron oxide covered with alluvium and silt, this premier cru is the steepest of the appellation. The Latin roots of the word "arvelet" refer to the presence of old fields, plowing land at this location.

Winemaking
Aged in oak barrels for 14 months using a proportion of 35% new French oak barrels that had been toasted at low temperatures for a long time to impart a very delicate touch of oak to the wine.

Nose
Very charming with aromas of small red fruits and plums. Some notes of sweet spices and undergrowth.
-
Palate
Generous and fresh palate, with fine and silky tannins. A beautiful length!
