Normally Jérémy makes one wine per plot, but from 'Les Veuillots' he makes 3 different wines, only the maturing process differs. Les Veuillots is a family plot of 1.7 hectares and has an enormous plant density. With an exposure to the south and a marl-limestone soil it is a special vineyard. Jérémy decided to make 3 different wines from it, the difference is in the maturation: stainless steel, cement egg or a wooden barrel.
This is the 'Inox' version, matured in stainless steel. The wine is therefore somewhat primary, nicely fruit-driven and well balanced with enormous length.
Jérémy Arnaud is the son of a longtime coopérateur who owns some 15 hectares, including several lesser-known premiers crus. But Jérémy didnt want to follow in his footsteps. After studies at Montpellier, he started up with a mere 0.55 hectares, vinifying his first vintage in 2017. He has also planted small parcels at higher densities in Béru, Beines and Bourgogne Tonnerre. Working without herbicides, he harvests by hand, ferments with native yeasts and vinifies in both tank and barrel, pursuing long élevage on the lees and bottling by hand without filtration. Since 2022, he's now working in a winery of his own, with temperature control, which will surely bring further advantages. This artisanal approach delivers wines of texture, tension and strong personality that show considerable potential.
