Description
93-95 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous.com: "The 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis Aux Chesaux 1er Cru has a slight reduction on the nose, blacker fruit here, superb mineralité and precision. The palate is surfeit with finesse, beautifully balanced with a poised and satisfying, silky smooth finish. Superb."
91-93 Points, Jasper Morris MW, InsideBurgundy.com, Nov 2022: "The fullest purple colour to date, among the Arlaud 2021s, with a ripe succulent dark red fruit and a touch more oak. A mild reduction, behind which I did not pick up any whole bunch effect. All in red fruit with an excellent graceful texture, just a light tannin or two at the back and very persistent. Drink from 2026-2031."
ABOUT DOMAINE ARLAUD
The history of Domaine Arlaud started during World War II, when Joseph Arlaud (originally from the Ardèche) met and fell in love with Renée Amiot, who came from a historic Burgundian family. Part of the couple’s wedding gifts were parcels of land in the Côte de Nuits, centered around the top crus of Morey St. Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin. And so Domaine Arlaud was born. Joseph’s son, Hervé Arlaud, took over the estate in 1982 and expanded the domaine with more purchases of prime vineyards, mostly in their home village of Morey St. Denis. Today, the star of the show is Hevré’s son Cyprien, who in the last ten years, has come into his own as one of the most exciting growers in all of France.
