The 2015 vintage in 布根地 (Burgundy) was marked by high temperatures and very dry conditions, leading to some water stress, yet ultimately yielding naturally concentrated and rich wines with remarkable freshness and a classic profile. Cyprien Arlaud noted that the inherent concentration of the year meant extensive extraction was unnecessary. These wines often lean towards the blacker fruit spectrum, appearing dense in their youth and benefiting significantly from bottle age. The Domaine Arlaud Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru 2015 is a magnificent expression of its terroir. Its bouquet is beautifully balanced towards red fruit, vibrant and expressive, with a delicate filigree minerality subtly underlying lush berry notes. On the palate, it is described as very vibrant and airy, showcasing effortlessly energetic mid-palate fruit with charming hints of pomegranate. Further tasting notes reveal kirsch, blackberry, and licorice, presenting a dense, seamless, juicy, and tight character that conveys power through its brooding black and purple fruit flavors. It offers a good line, excellent texture, and a slowly mouth-watering flavor, supported by ample tannin yet finishing with lovely floral fruit notes. 【A magnificent and exquisite Grand Cru from a naturally concentrated and rich vintage】.
