There are many 1ers Crus in Burgundy, but nowhere more so than in Pommard. The 125 hectares of 1ers Crus are spread over 28 different climates.

Les Arvelets covers 8.45 hectares, but the plot is located in the Clos des Arvelets, of which the family owns the entire 3.30 hectares.

After being owned until 1763 by Micault d'Harvelay (who took his name from Clos des Arvelets), lord of the castle de Pommard, squire, secretary to the king, general farmer, director of powders and saltpeter of the kingdom. Became the property of the Marey-Monge family until 1926, date of acquisition of this plot.

Since then separated by family homes, this enclosure, surrounded by walls (up to 4 meters high!) is in a situation of south-facing terraces.

Very steep, sometimes with a slope of 20%, this vine is grown by hand and gives a wine with a ruby red color, a concentrated and pleasant nose, with supple and soft tannins.

We operate one of the oldest family properties in Pommard: an ancestor, Jean Bourgogne, settled there in 1552. He leased the vines of the Sainte Marguerite de Bouilland Abbey, located in Pommard, for 99 years: The estate has spanned generations built up.

To our great joy, we have managed to maintain the family character of our estate.

The Domain

The Domaine is currently spread over three municipalities: Pommard, Volnay and Beaune. Our vineyard allows us to vinify thirteen different appellations, allowing the places to express all the richness of these fantastic terroirs.

Our working method remains in line with ancestral traditions. It is painstaking and diligent work all year round, in the vineyards and in the cellars. Severe pruning in winter and disbursement in May allow us to control yields well.

Harvest

Reasoned control is applied against diseases and parasites to better respect the environment. The soils are worked mechanically, without herbicides, to preserve the life of the soil and these very beautiful terroirs.
The harvest is manual, the destemming is 100% done. The vinification is aimed at obtaining wines with charm, elegance, great finesse and good aging.
The wines are then taken to the cellars, the oldest of which dates from the early 17th century. Maturation takes place partly in new oak barrels and lasts 14 to 18 months, depending on the cuvée, before bottling.
The harvest is sold to private individuals, restaurants and professionals.
