Vinification
The vineyard is classified as Premier Cru in Aloxe-Corton and is situated on a southeast-facing slope. The soil consists of compact, heavy clay, rich in limestone, over pebbles and gravel from the Aloxe-Corton alluvial fan. These fresh soils give the wines both density and freshness.
The grapes are hand-harvested and rigorously sorted upon arrival at the winery. They are then fully destemmed and fermented in stainless steel vats. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out with alternating remontage and pigeage. After fermentation, the solids are removed and the remaining marc is pressed. The wine is aged for at least 10 months in French oak barrels before bottling.

About Dom. d'Ardhuy
The story of Domaine d’Ardhuy begins with the Romans, continues for centuries through the work of great abbeys and Burgundy’s noble families, and has been carried on by the family since 1927, when grandfather Pierre André bought his first vineyards in Aloxe-Corton and founded the family estate.
Today, the estate covers 37 hectares and has been fully organic since 2022, a demanding and complex approach that allows them to meet the challenges of this century while fulfilling the expectations of wine lovers. With initiatives such as the estate’s carbon footprint assessment and participation in Bourgogne Neutralité 2035, they are committed daily to a sustainable future, faithful to the spirit of Ardhuy.
