Arnaud Dubreuil Aloxe-Cortone 1er Cru Les Paulands
A story of dedication and passion in the heart of Savigny-les-Beaune, the Domaine Philippe and Arnaud Dubreuil story unfolds over three generations. The winery was first established in the late 1940s by Paul Dubreuil. His son Philippe joined the venture in 1973 and the two domains were united in 1989. In 2000, the third generation, Arnaud, began working at the family estate and officially took the reins in 2010.
Taking advantage of the sun from sunrise to sunset, this one hectare plot of 55 year old vines, located in the northern part of the appellation, "Les Paulands" is characterized by reddish-brown soils rich in potassium and phosphoric acid which tend to produce soft, fruity but nevertheless complex wines. At elevations between 200-250 meters above sea level, the sub soil of the plot is mainly composed of clay on its top and marl on its lower part. The robe is dark, a deep ruby, crimson velvet. Young, its aromas suggest a garden in spring, with red and black berries. Its notes intensify with age with peony and jasmine aromas. Robust without losing its distinction, elegant and fruity, it fully opens up after 3 to 5 years of aging, showcasing a firm and structured body, rich in texture and gentle tannins.
