DOMAINE ARLAUD MOREY-SAINT-DENIS 1ER CRU 'LES RUCHOTS' 2023

Les Ruchots occupies a walled clos on Morey-Saint-Denis's southern border with Chambolle-Musigny, its three protective walls shielding 60+-year-old Pinot Noir from cold northerly winds and creating a consistently warm microclimate that yields balanced ripeness each vintage. Situated just below Bonnes Mares and Clos de Tart — on the same rock band as Clos de la Roche — with Premier Cru Les Sentiers directly adjacent, it is widely regarded as Morey's finest Premier Cru. Cyprien Arlaud farms this certified biodynamic parcel with horses, ferments with indigenous yeasts, and bottles unfined and unfiltered. Mineral, dense, and powerful on the nose with dark fruit, rock, and floral notes; structured and complex on the palate with a long, age-worthy finish.
