2020 Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru Aux Cheseaux, Domaine Arlaud

2020 Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru Aux Cheseaux, Domaine Arlaud

This vineyard is at the north end of the village, on the border with grand cru, Mazoyères-Chambertin. The soils are high in limestone, and produce a wine that is rich in dark wild berries and clove spice. It shows particularly vibrant fruit in 2020, with great energy on the palate.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis Aux Chesaux 1er Cru is a little more open on the nose that Arlaud’s other Premier Crus, a mixture of black and red fruit, pressed violets, quite powerful in style. The palate is medium-bodied with finer tannins than the nose suggests, well balanced but linear and correct. It’s the kind of straightlaced Morey that will show better on the dinner table rather than on its own.
