Arlaud has 1 hectare of Charmes-Chambertin, in 3 different sections aged 25, 40 and 75 years-old respectively. Already, there an elixirous, perfumed bouquet full of spice, red fruit and flower. The wine seems delicate, and the tannins are fine and supple, but there is a sense of contained power as it slips through the mouth towards the persistent finish. Impressive, serious, delicious.

This comes from the upper part of Mazoyères, alongside the Route des Grands Crus. A balanced fresh mid purple colour. Sweet pure red fruit through the middle with a fresh crunchy character behind. This wine has impressive density of fruit. As Cyprien says, the grander appellations have really held their own. 93-96 points

The 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is made with 30% whole bunch and 20% new oak. It has a perfumed bouquet with iris and incense aromas infusing the black cherry and cassis fruit, quite opulent and yet remaining nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fresh and quite citrus-like in style, although it relinquishes a little precision as it nears the finish. 91-93 points

(from a 1.13 ha parcel in Mazoyères that abuts the Route des Grands Crus). Reduction. There is more size, weight and mid-palate density to the somewhat less refined flavors that also possess a seductive texture before concluding in a raspy and youthfully austere finish, both of which are exacerbated by plenty of gas. 89-92 points

Plum and blackberry fruit, spicy, earthy notes and flint – lots of depth. Nice intensity of blackberry on the palate, with quite fine structure that will need time. Long. 16.5+ points
