2022 Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru Les Millandes, Domaine Arlaud

2022 Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru Les Millandes, Domaine Arlaud

This vineyard sits just below Clos St Denis, in the heart of the village, and offers up a deep and textured expression of Morey St Denis. It is delicate, with creamy red fruit leading the wine. WHile not particularly intense, it offers up a balanced length of great distinction. With some time in bottle to take on a little more weight and precision, and this could be the dark horse of the stable.

Tasting notes

A paler pink to ruby colour. The nose has a few white pepper touches to the alpine strawberry fruit. A very graceful perfume, then a more structured wine beneath. Several little waves of flavour, entirely in fresh red fruit. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted: November 2023.

The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Millandes 1er Cru has one-third whole bunches. Brambly red fruit, sous-bois and light chalky scents on the nose that feels quite strict at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins. There’s mainly black fruit here, plus cedar and graphite, rather "serious" towards the finish. Fine, but it will require bottle age.
