Peter Maude Fine Wines
2019, Maison Jean-Claude Boisset, POMMARD, 1er Cru, 'Les Arvelets'
$136
The plot "Les Arvelets" is located on the north slope - next to Platière. Exposed south with a clay-limestone soil rich in iron oxide covered with alluvium and silt, this premier cru is the steepest of the appellation. 45 yr old vines.
2019. According to Grégory Patriat, this harvest will go down as a legendary vintage just like 1969, 1979, 1999, 2009, and 2019, because the concentration in the wines is very high indeed.
The colour is garnet red. The very intense nose exhales various aromas of blueberries and cherries, embellished with some notes of blond tobacco and vanilla. On the palate, this round and elegant wine is supported by silky tannins. Domaine notes.
