This has an attractive nose of wild raspberries, red currants, flowers, nutmeg and a hint of cinnamon stick. Excellent flavor concentration on the palate with rich fruit and spices combined with very fine and precise...

The 2021 Clos de Tart Grand Cru was bottled in July 2023. It has much more intensity than the La Forge, though there remains a bit of new oak to be subsumed at the moment. The medium-bodied palate has fine depth and...

(92-94 points) Another charming, sensual wine from Arlaud, the 2021 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru delivers aromas of orange rind, rose petals, sweet spices and plums. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, with melting...

(92-94 points) The 2021 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is beautiful, bursting with aromas of red berries, orange zest, rose petals and smoke. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, it's vibrant, fleshy and perfumed...

Cyprian Arlaud farms a hectare of vines in the Morey-Saint-Denis heartland of En Seurvrées (near the Gevrey border) and the Clos Solon on the plain below the village in the heart of the village appellation. The old vines...

(92-95 points) An ultra-fresh and attractively spicy nose blends the essence of red cherry and raspberry with those of earth and floral wisps. The cool, intense and almost crisp middleweight flavors possess terrific...

(90-93 points) This is also very firmly reduced and unreadable today. The delicious and intense middle weight flavors that do possess an appealing mouthfeel despite not being particularly concentrated that continues onto...

The 2019 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru Grand Cru has a very typical bouquet for the vineyard: quite floral in style and predominantly red-fruited, touches of kirsch and black truffle shavings and a light marine scent that...

At our tasting at the domaine in March, the 1995 Clos de la Bussière showed absolutely brilliantly. This is not a surprise, as Christophe realized remarkable success in this vintage, with his lineup of wines perhaps the...

Dark and rich, with hints of bittersweet chocolate, this black cherry- and blackberry-infused red has plenty of flesh covering its structure and just keeps going on the fruit and spice aftertaste. Best from 2012 through...

(90-92 points) The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos de la Bussière is, along with Les Cras, one of the more overtly ripe wines in the range this year, delivering notions of red berries, spiced plums, petals and sweet...

(92-95 points) Here too the nose is sufficiently reduced as to mask the fruit. On the palate though there is both good verve and freshness to the highly seductive and rich larger-scaled flavors that brim with sappy dry...

(90-93 points) Notes of dark berries, cherries, licorice, smoked meats and spices introduce the 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru La Riotte, a medium to full-bodied, supple and sapid wine with a sweet core of fruit that's...

A well-spiced and broad-based nose freely offers up notes of forest floor, red and dark currant and evident sauvage character. The tautly muscular and vibrant medium-bodied flavors exude a subtle minerality while offering...

Moderate wood surrounds the brooding liqueur-like aromas of red and dark currant, plum and a whiff of the sauvage. However, unlike the prior wines the wood can also be found on the mid-palate of the round, succulent and...
