2017 Arnaud Baillot Bourgogne

A wine with medium intensity colour, purplish in its youth changing to ruby and then garnet after several years in bottle. A harmonious and balanced wine with a plump fruitiness and silky texture offset by round, gentle tannins with a medium body and elegant structure. The very typical, fragrant varietal bouquet is complemented by a deliciously lingering finish.

Arnaud Baillot’s headquarters are located in Beaune, the heart of the Côte d’Or. Owner and winemaker, Arnaud Baillot, now presents his fourth vintage of limited edition Burgundy crus. Passionate about the diversity of wines the Burgundy region has to offer, Arnaud has teamed up with his wife Laure (granddaughter of Alain Noëllat of the famed Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat) to produce a spectacular range of villages and crus Burgundy wines.

Arnaud has been hands-on all along the way, selecting the origin of the grapes, overviewing the winemaking process, choosing the type of barrels and ageing time for each individual wine. In 2017, Arnaud and Laure acquired a small vineyard in Côte de Beaune, making their first step in having their own Estate produced wines at Domaine Arnaud Baillot. Their philosophy is to respect and promote the complexity of the Burgundy wine region while producing terroir-driven wines.
