"Trois Filles" - "the three sisters"
Audrey Arlon (far left) is the current winemaker at the family estate. Her parents founded "Domaine des Trois Filles," named after Audrey and her two sisters, Leonie and Justine, who now farm a modest 9 hectares of old gobelet vineyards that they tirelessly tend to using biodynamic farming. They co-planted the vines with rye, fava beans, clover, and radish sprouts in between the rows and in the spring, they fold it into the earth to protect the soil while keeping humidity and maintaining a low temperature in the increasingly hot weather of Southern France. All of this attention to detail in the vines shows in the extreme deliciousness of the wines.
Audrey says that the, "nez est explosif" so by all means, please sip with caution.
