Domaine Arlaud
Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir


Old school. This is what good burgundy's all about. A middle-of-the-road vintage but this still had ample, polished tannins, the piquant rustic acidity I expect (and long for) from great pinot, and hints of a peacocks tail at the end, unravelling layer upon (subtle) layer of flavour. At the end there's a lovely hint of finely ground black pepper. It's got flaws but it's still damned good.
