Les Grands Vergers Arbois Trousseau


A bit too bretty for me to get past, though there's something appealing lurking beneath it all. Too bad.

Still super enjoyable but I wonder how amazing it would be if the cellar was cleaned up.

Appealing tart fruit and spice. Really evolving in the glass

Very unusual smoky, meaty and floral character.
Palate is very fine, balanced with elegant red fruits and a silky finish

Though I usually find Trousseau somewhat delicate (and this one is, too), I wish I had decanted this. The bottom half of the bottle was 2x as expressive as the top!
