Morey Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Blanchards 2012 Arlaud

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (91)

The 2012 Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru Millandes is one of best 2012s from the domaine this year. From their 0.41 hectares of vines, it is endowed with a floral bouquet: dried petals infusing the red fruit profile. Again, this is backwards and taut, yet with encouragement it begins to show just how much energy is coiled inside. The palate is medium-bodied with well-integrated oak. It has a smooth velvety texture and a harmonious long finish. It perhaps just needs to develop a little more tension, but otherwise this is outstanding.
