DOMAINE VIRELY-ROUGET

At the beginning of the century Louis Virely came to Pommard and took over the Domaine of his in-laws, having come from an old family of winemakers himself. In 1926 he bought the parcel of Pommard 1er Cru “Clos des Arvelets”. In 1951, his son Bernard took over part of the Domaine and married a woman from Meursault, who brought with her the appellation “Les Charmes”. Together they bought and replanted “Les Clos de l’Ermitage” in Beaune as well as diverse parcels in the village of Pommard, and the Domaine Virely-Rouget was born. Today, their son Patrick continues the family tradition. With 3 acres of “Clos des Arvelets”, Virely-Rouget is the biggest owner of the appellation 1er Cru Arvelets.
