Reviews

Ripe blueberry fruit, with some oak giving vanilla and cinnamon notes and creaminess to the palate. An agreeable, smooth-textured Arvelets, very relaxed, with some tannic bite to the end of the finish providing balancing freshness. 2025–29.

Dark, woodland aroma and an earthy palate. Leathery, chunky tannins, with notes of licorice in this beefy palate. Full-bodied and robust, with decent follow-through, this shows good terroir typicité. 2025–33.

Overtly oaky aroma; vanilla, Brazil nut, and cappuccino. Slightly exotic fruit to boot. Rich attack, concentrated, savory, rich marzipan and a buttery texture. Very showy. Good depth mid-palate. The oak comes through with freshness on the finish, which is rather well-sustained with sweet saltiness. Not bad at all. 2027–35.

Attractive almond aroma. Slim, straight, and savory, with piquant acidity and sappiness. Good energy and intension. A touch of tannin on the finish. What’s not to like? Snappy, white Fixin. Spot-on. - Sarah Marsh

Cask sample. Meaty, orange-peel nose with lots of edge and energy. Like essence of Morey. Really exciting but with a flourish rather than concentration. Great balance and refinement as well as depth. So well done! Oddly appealing already but certainly not simple.

Cask sample. Blueish pale crimson. Quite intense nose and still pretty youthful but with much more winning fruit than the average young Pommard. Hold this! Lightly grainy tannins but some winning plummy fruit too.

Cask sample. Aromatic. Lots of energy. Solid and savory and embryonic. Nice graininess of tannins.
