Pale-medium red. Pretty aromas of red fruits, faded rose and brown spices. Silky, smooth and laid-back, with sneaky intensity of flavor and a distinctly juicy character. Not at all a blockbuster but fuller than the preceding premier crus. A rather feminine grand cru with very good subtle persistence.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: March/April 2010
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.
