Arnaud Lopez is a passionate winemaker based in Nuits Saint Georges whose journey began assisting at Prieuré Roch for over ten years before launching his own project, Maison Pinot Noar, in 2018. His approach marries a deep respect for Burgundy’s rich traditions with a modern curiosity for minimal intervention and expression of site. Lopez works vineyard by vineyard, hand harvesting organic fruit and embracing whole cluster fermentations. His winemaking philosophy centres on patience and precision, capturing the energy and nuance of each parcel to create wines that resonate with elegance and subtle power.
Les Larrets vineyard sits on steep slopes with shallow limestone soils, offering excellent drainage and a cool microclimate that favours slow, even ripening. The 2023 vintage here was cooler overall, with marked diurnal shifts that enhanced acidity and aromatic clarity. Lopez employed 70 percent whole cluster fermentation followed by a 25 day maceration with gentle extraction to preserve finesse. The wine was aged 14 months in neutral oak barrels, showing bright cranberry, violet, and graphite notes layered with fine tannins and a saline, mineral driven finish.
