Description

• Pascal Arnoux is the fourth generation to farm his family vineyards in Burgundy. After completing his formal studies at the Lycée Viticole in Beaune and working for several years with his uncles, Pascal formally took charge of the domaine in 2007. While the cellars are based in in the village of Chorey-lès-Beaune, the domaine vineyards encompass 50 acres covering the appellations of Chorey-lès-Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Beaune and Corton.

  All of the vineyards are farmed sustainably, with an eye towards preserving the land for future generations. In the cellar all of the fruit is de-stemmed, and oak treatment, while utilized, is always employed judiciously. The results are a range of classically styled wines that admirably reflect the unique characteristics of their provenance.

  From the lieu dit of Beaumonts. This climat protrudes farther up the hill than the rest of Chorey and is sandwiched in between Savigny-Lès-Beaune and Aloxe-Corton. The name refers to its beautiful (Beau) position. A top climat of Chorey-Lès-Beaune.

  This is a pretty, perfumed Burgundy Pinot Noir that displays a fine-grained, “cool-vintage” character. It pours a bright garnet-red with pink reflections, with high-toned aromas of red and black cherry, wild strawberry, black tea, violets, underbrush, and a delicate note of warm spice. Medium-bodied, with fine-grained tannins and lots of mouth-watering acidity, it needs some air to reveal its true self: Decant at least 30 minutes before serving with roast pork loin, wild mushroom pasta or risotto, or some cedar-planked salmon.
