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 very old vines of Les Vercots are grown on heavy, clay soil to produce firm brooding wines.
This has produce a creamy, rich, complex, almost nutty Pinot Noir with terrific depth and concentration. Mineral with great depth and balance this is a wine to savour.
