Vineyard & Terroir: Les Arvelets is another renowned 1er Cru vineyard in Pommard. The soils here are rich in clay, providing the wine with great structure and depth. The vineyard's location allows for an optimal ripening of Pinot Noir, which is reflected in the wine�s intensity and complexity.
Winemaking & Aging: Like other wines from Violot-Guillemard, the grapes are hand-harvested, and fermentation is carried out with native yeasts to preserve the character of the terroir. The wine is aged in oak barrels for 12-18 months, which contributes to its smoothness and complexity.
Tasting Notes: The 2021 vintage offers an expressive nose of cherries, subtle tea aromas, and delicate spices. On the palate, the wine is structured with a fine balance between fruit, tannins, and acidity. It has a long finish with a touch of minerality, making it a classic expression of Pommard.
