Information:

The Arnoux family first entered the world of viticulture in the early 1930s. Located in Chorey-lès-Beaune in the Côte d’Or, they now pass on the art of vine and wine from generation to generation.

Our philosophy

Respecting both tradition and modernity – wines for sharing and conviviality

The vines

‘The vineyard is our pantry’

Our terroirs are certified High Environmental Value and deserve our respect. We make the work in the vineyard our priority, and commit, year after year, to sustainable and environmentally friendly viticulture.

Soil maintenance

Soil maintenance is essential, enhancing the typicity of each of our terroirs and preserving the microbial activity of our soils. Ploughing work (on the surface) is carried out during the year in order to improve soil structure, promote biological activity, and control grass growth.

‘We give back to the vine what it gives to us.’ After pruning, in winter, the vine shoots are crushed, and the organic matter is naturally restored to the soil in our plots.

Annual work

We consider manual work to be even more important. ‘It’s easier to make great wines from a healthy harvest.’ Although it is demanding and meticulous, we do not skip any step in the process.

In winter, we prune, leaving long canes to ensure that future growth is evenly spaced.

In spring, strict disbudding allows us to fully control our yields and obtain grapes of optimal quality.

Then, in summer, careful trellising
