Hi Joost
Cyprien wasn’t at the winery the day of my appointment so I didn’t discuss alcohol levels with him. But in general, the reds of the Côte d’Or have a little more alcohol in 2020 than in 2019 – it was the reverse for the whites.
What I can say, is that if I had an allocation of the domaine’s wines I’d be keeping them. Except for some ‘black wine’ issues in 2018 – not uncommon – this has been consistently one of the best domaines in Burgundy in the last 5-6 years…
All my best…
Hello Bill,
I know it’s a difficult question to answer but which domaines did you enjoy the most since 3-4 years ? Appart from domaine Arlaud which is fantastic !
There are, of course, many 😁 But in no particular order (Arlaud included) Arlot, Patrice Rion, d’Angervile, David Croix, Comtesse de Cherisey…
Bill,
I was wondering, chez Arlaud , would you say that the profile is very much to the blac=kish spectrum of flavours and not so much to the reddish ? as well were there elevated alcohol levels ? I seem to have heard about this… just wondering vis a vis my allocation of his wines…
