Description:
Since Frank Follin inherited vines originally under the control of the Louis Latour empire, he has been making sublime wines of concentration, purity and complexity. On his 6 ha of vineyards all of his vines from Aloxe-Corton, Corton, Pernand-Vergelesses and Romanee St Vivant, are tended by hand and respectfully protected from any form of insecticide or pesticide.
A qualified geologist, Frank has developed wines that are a great reflection of the Terroir. Here the Corton vines are planted on the chalk or 'terre blanche' soil that seems to give the wine a seductively floral bouquet and delicacy of fruit.
Pinot Noir is the classic grape of red burgundy with a deep red almost purple colour this wine has intense floral aromas. Good tannic structure is evident while the intense mulberry fruit flavours dominate this very well made wine showing a long finish.

A qualified geologist, Frank has developed wines that are a great reflection of the Terroir here the light, stony soil of the Clos du Chapitre tends to produce beautifully rounded, well integrated and open wines. A deep red coloured wine with dark forrest fruit aromas this Pinot Noir has lots of dark rich berry fruit, with more than a hint of chocolate and minerality. Complex, structured and long this is a wine to savour. (12 x 75 cl)
