2021 Arlaud, Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru, Les Millandes 1x75cl

Burghound – 90-92

Hints of green tea and earth can be discerned on the elegant and airy aromas of various red berries and dried floral wisps. There is again a lovely texture to the lighter weight flavors that possess excellent underlying tension before culminating in a dusty, moderately austere and sneaky long finish. This slightly raspy effort should benefit from a few years of keeping to round off the tannins and reward a decade plus. [10/01/2023]

Vinous – 91-93

The 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Millandes 1er Cru has impressive definition on the nose with blackberry, raspberry and crushed limestone. The palate is very well balanced with quite saturated tannins, fine-boned and finessed with a touch of kirsch and blood orange on the finish. Excellent. [Neal Martin, 01/01/2023]

Anticipated maturity: 2025-2040

Jasper Morris – 90-92

An attractive colour on the pinky purple side. Strawberry and raspberry together, quite high toned, but it is more whole bunch than volatility. Sweet fruit behind assists the finish. [01/11/2022]
