The 2018 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is made with 30% whole-bunch fruit and no new oak. This sports the best bouquet from Arlaud this year, featuring brilliantly detailed black fruit laced with crushed stone and faint incense aromas and conveying composure and refinement. The palate is beautifully balanced with filigreed tannins, perfectly pitched acidity, a sense of cohesion from start to finish and an irresistible sense of energy on the finish. One of the best examples from this Grand Cru.

the 2018 Clos St.-Denis exudes spicy aromas of bergamot, cherry and raspberry. Silky, refined and intense, it builds to a long finish. BS (non-blind)

About the Producer
With roots back to 1942 when Joseph Arlaud married Renee Amiot, whose family was deeply engrained in Burgundian wine culture, the family inherited some incredible holdings that they still farm today according to the rules of biodynamics. Joseph's son Herve Arlaud took over the estate in 1982 and expanded the domaine with purchases of prime vineyards, mostly in their home village of Morey St. Denis. Today, the star of the show is Hevre'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.
