A sensational wine every vintage; the Arlauds combine the best fruit from a handful of Chambolle plots to craft one of the most expressive and honest snapshots of Chambolle’s violet character. Lavender and blueberries mix on the palate, with grippy yet silky tannins and good structure. Aromas mix blue flowers and a black/blue fruit salad, with licorice and a dash of pepper on the earthy finish. Very beautiful and balanced—one of the more finesse-driven and poised of the collection.

2009 Arlaud red Burgundy
8.2.2010
What do you do when you get to the top? You build another level and keep on flying. The Arlauds in Morey-St.-Denis are some of the most respected and certainly one of the most talented winemaking families in Burgundy today—and they’ve achieved this through seriously hard work and a clear vision of quality. For more than a decade we’ve watched this “dream team” mature and achieve levels of greatness that has perhaps even surprised them—but there’s no question that 2009 represents some of the finest Burgundies of their careers. continue reading >>

Arlaud Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2009
France / Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
One of the more complex and complete Bonnes Mares we’ve ever tasted. The nose is expressively floral, with lots of spice and riper notes. The mouth delivers layers of blue and black fruits, alternating with deeper cassis notes and highlights of ginger.

Call 1-800-266-6585 to inquire.

Arlaud Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes de Nuits Blanc 2009
France / Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
Crushed stones, spring water and dried wildflowers mixes with fresh pears and quince on the expressive nose; the mouth is silky and bright, very fresh and pure, with plenty of energy and pep. Yet the juicy personality of 2009 come through with lots of yellow fruits and candied citrus on the mouth—very delectable and perfectly balanced. Very limited; less than six barrels made for the world.

Arlaud Bourgogne Rouge Roncevie Vieilles Vignes 2009
France / Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
The insider’s terroir find and always a favorite, on flavor and on value. The secret of “Roncevie” is that it’s surrounded by Gevrey village vineyards; it outperforms on every level and should never, ever be considered a “simple” Bourgogne rouge. Tremendously expressive and long in 2009, the wine’s aromas mix smoky cherries and candied roses. The mouth is sweet and harmonious, with purple and red fruits, candied oranges and suggestions of pepper and lavender. A knock-out and always a must-have.

Arlaud Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Sentiers 2009
France / Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
Not far from grand cru Bonnes Mares, “Sentiers” is always a deeper, more black-fruited cru. Very limited in 2009; just four barrels produced. An aromatic blend of red and black fruits dusted with white pepper shows on the nose. Dark cherry jam and silky notes of blackberry mousse show on the mouth; the main sensations here are of layered meringue and juicy concentration. Outstanding.

Arlaud Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2009
France / Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
A penetrating Charmes with serious spice in both aroma and flavor. This comes on sultry like the blues and then wakes you up with a modern jazz sax solo! Floral in the nose, with purple roses and orange zest with some white pepper notes.

$135.95

Arlaud Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2009
France / Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
A fuller, rounder Clos de la Roche with ample structure and spice. This is one of the Arlauds’ most poised, structured grand crus yet in 2009 it’s wrapped in an extra layer of rich Pinot fruit. Aromas are very peppery, with notes of spring thyme and licorice; the mouth is full and juicy, with blackberries, succulent cherries and more peppery spices.

Arlaud Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru 2009
France / Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
Outstanding in 2009 and a treasure for the cellar. More earthy notes in the nose, with smoky licorice and black fruits; flavors are velvety yet concentrated, with plenty of saturated, juicy red/blackberries and lots of baking spices. An incredibly promising wine.

Arlaud Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes 2009
France / Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
“Combottes” is surrounded by grand cru vineyards at the border between Gevrey and Morey—always a stunning wine given its location, older vines and endless class. We couldn’t get over its exotic, captivating nose of cherries and cinnamon, raspberries and ginger.

Call 1-800-266-6585 to inquire.

Arlaud Morey-St.-Denis 1er Cru Aux Chezeaux 2009
France / Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
Notes of plums and cassis mix with black cherries and hints of ginger and dark chocolate. Lusciously ripe, yet not without sufficient mineral and peppery energy to keep things lively. The finish is peppery; definitely a meat eaters’ wine.

$74.95

Arlaud Morey-St.-Denis 1er Cru Les Ruchots 2009
France / Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
“Ruchots” takes it up a notch in structure and concentration, and in 2009 is a classic in its deep, dense and perfectly Pinot personality. A lovely blend of power and fruit, the nose and mouth are awash with ripe, rich black cherries and baking spices.
