2013 Arlaud Morey-St-Denis

From the home village of course. Cyprien says that 2013 was a vintage that at least came naturally, if not easily. The boy has a genius for understatement, I think. The nose shows a touch of reduction. There is good, ripe cherry fruit with silky tannins and good body and texture. Long finish with deft mineral freshness. (CW 04/11/14)
