2023 Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru Aux Cheseaux, Domaine Arlaud

2023 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, with a lean, precise, mineral and persistent freshness. A hit in 2023.

Tasting notes

The 2023 Morey-Saint-Denis Aux Chesaux 1er Cru presents a detailed, mineral-driven bouquet, slightly stricter than the Les Blanchards, yet full of energy and focus. The medium-bodied palate offers sapid red fruit, good body and depth, with light minty notes surfacing toward the finish and a long tail. Quite a powerful Morey-Saint-Denis, this is one for long-term aging.

A fine even purple. The bouquet is delicious, very high-class red berry fruit with slight but not marked floral tones, a few rose petals. Cyprien has worked hard with this terroir, on hard Comblanchien limestone, so as to get a finer texture, and indeed the 2023 is sitting on a carpet of velvet. Darker fruits, from raspberry to boysenberry at the back. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted Dec 2024.
