Domaine Arlaud, Clos Saint-Denis 2015

Moving up slope to the original part of Clos St. Denis. The Clos St. Denis 2015 is cooler than the Clos de la Roche – seem to be the tendency in 2015. The bouquet is balanced more towards red fruit – more vivid and expressive with a detailed filigree minerality lurking underneath the lush berries. On the palate very vibrant and airy with a effortlessly energetic mid-palate fruit – with charming notes of pomegranate. This is a truly magnificent and exquisite wine.
