"Only four people work the vineyards full time at Domaine Follin-Arbelet in Aloxe-Corton, situated at the northern limit of the Côte-de-Beaune. Franck Follin’s son, Simon, who works alongside his father, says he’s grateful to have a small estate. In this way, they continue to optimize quality control, doing everything by hand and tending to their vines with care and attention to detail. This Aloxe-Corton blends two parcels of old vines and showcases their commitment to hard work and terroir expression. Wines from Aloxe have a reputation for more rusticity and concentration than you’d find farther south, but in the hands of the Follins, they’re charmingly finessed." —Jane Augustine
