($48) Moderately saturated medium red. Aroma of musky strawberry with a meaty nuance. Supple flavors of red fruits and spices are complemented by an element of torrefaction. Firm tannic spine gives the wine good cut.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: March/April 2009Burghound | Rating: 89
Curiously, here the nose is more deeply pitched than the Morey with pretty and ripe notes of red and blue pinot fruit that precedes the delicious, sappy and round flavors that are relatively open and beautifully balanced. If this adds complexity with a year or two in bottle, it should merit the top of the range.Author: Allen MeadowsIssue: 1st Quarter, 2008
The dedication of the Arlaud family - father Herve, son Cyprien and daughter Bertille - has substantially improved this domaine each year. Their labor-intensive practices of hand pruning, stringent green harvesting and the use of a horse and plow instead of a tractor have produced the finest wines of the domaine's history.
The wines are textbook expressions of each terroir and are remarkably complex and richly balanced. Look for the domaine to continue to build its strong reputation in vintages ahead.
