Corton is the only Grand Cru for red wine on the Côte de Beaune, and Domaine Follin-Arbelet's parcel sits on the renowned hill of Corton above the village of Aloxe-Corton. This is the pinnacle of the domaine's range — a step above their excellent village and Premier Cru bottlings.
Run by Franck Follin and his son Simon, the wine is fermented slowly in open-top wooden vats with indigenous yeasts and bottled without fining or filtration, as is standard across the domaine. Grand Cru Corton delivers power and concentration that village Aloxe-Corton only hints at — expect deep, dark fruit, firm structure, mineral complexity and the serious ageing potential that befits Burgundy's Grand Cru classification.
