Un Pinot Noir d'école, caricaturale dans le bon sens du terme dans son interprète très clair et lisible et qui devrait plaire au plus grand nombre. Harmonieux, équilibré, d'intensité moyenne.

Slight sweet fruit nose, medium red, good acidity. strong tannic spine that still overwhelms the dark fruit flavours. This definitely needs more time to balance out the components. I stretched out drinking the bottle to see if this would soften and the fruit flavours would pop out more and had great improvement. This is a tight wine at this point in time and needs patients. This has the Potential to be a great 1er Cru MSD!

Medium red , miniscule fruit / raisin nose with time , good acidity, soft tannins with generous dark fruit notes that linger on the palate with slight sweetness. Good length opens up becoming more fruit forward with each glass. Was going to hold back a third of the bottle for a second day tasting but did not happen. Great extraction with balanced tannins. Easy early drinking but with I believe lots of stuffing for great aging.

Deep, dark brambly wild berries, blackberry with searing oak spice and some heat that actually marries well, coming together with air. These effects remind me of the only other Arlaud I’ve had, the 2016 Bourgogne (which I didn’t love), however the class of the fruit here does shine through, and better stands up to the house style. Shows good depth and drinkability with air, with medium to low acidity, giving this some crossover appeal to casual drinkers, as it really lets the fruit come in to focus. Clearly on the muscular, yet accessible side of Burgundy, might even try pairing this with steak.

Cherry mushroom. Very good flowery smell, but 17 is too young to open '21..

Velvety soft, medium bodied, and not (yet) very expressive. To be served with fowl or white meat in cream sauce with morilles or truffle
