Domaine Follin‑Arbelet Clos du Chapitre Aloxe‑Corton 1er Cru is a refined and powerful expression of one of Aloxe‑Corton’s most characterful premier cru sites in Burgundy. The Clos du Chapitre vineyard, enclosed and gently sloping, sits on classic Burgundian limestone and clay, producing Pinot Noir of depth, structure and remarkable purity. Meticulous vineyard work, low yields and traditional winemaking allow the fruit to speak clearly, resulting in a wine that marries intensity with finesse. Long ageing in French oak brings harmony, subtle spice and a polished, silken texture.

Why You’ll Love It

This is serious, cellar‑worthy Burgundy with a strong sense of place. Clos du Chapitre offers the muscular elegance Aloxe‑Corton is known for, but with an extra layer of precision and aromatic lift that makes Follin‑Arbelet’s wines so distinctive. It’s a bottle for those who appreciate Pinot Noir with both power and poise.

Meet the Producer

Domaine Follin‑Arbelet is a small, highly regarded family estate based in Aloxe‑Corton. Known for their meticulous approach in both vineyard and cellar, they craft wines that are classical, terroir‑driven and built to age. Their holdings across the Côte de Beaune include some of the region’s most respected crus, all farmed with exceptional care.

Production

Grapes are hand‑harvested at peak ripeness and sorted rigorously before fermentation in traditional open vats. Gentle extraction preserves purity and fine tannin structure. The wine is then matured in French oak barrels, with a thoughtful proportion of new oak to enhance complexity without overshadowing the vineyard’s character.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of black cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry unfold alongside notes of violet, earth, spice and fine oak. The palate is structured yet refined, offering concentrated red and dark fruit wrapped in silky tannins. Mineral undertones and a long, savoury finish highlight the pedigree of this premier cru site.

Perfect Pairings

Ideal with roast duck, venison, beef fillet, mushroom dishes, game birds or mature hard cheeses. Its balance of richness and elegance makes it a superb partner for refined, flavourful cuisine.
