🏛️ About the Producer

Based in Beaune, in Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, Domaine Arnaud Baillot was founded by Arnaud Baillot and his wife, Laure Hudelot-Noëllat, granddaughter of the founder of Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat. Beginning as a small-batch négociant venture, they acquired their first Côte de Beaune vineyard in 2017, before establishing their own winery and expanding their organically cultivated estate vineyards. In the cellar, indigenous yeasts, gentle extraction and carefully selected light-toast oak underpin a minimal-intervention approach. Their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines focus on aromatic clarity, balance and the individual character of Burgundy’s vineyard sites.
