Brisk acidity and drying raspberry fruit

driven more by an intense minerality than raw muscle

This uber-classic

Otherwise there is once again fine richness to the round and plump flavors that possess a bit more volume if much less evident minerality on the already beautifully complex finale

Philippe Pacalet, Pommard Arvelets Vintage:2017 Brisk acidity and drying raspberryA brooding and reticent nose requires aggressive swirling to liberate the somber aromas of newly turned earth, humus, violet and the sauvage. There is excellent punch to the well delineated medium weight flavors that brim with minerality on the moderately austere and tightly coiled finish. This is very Arvelets in character and in particular you can sense the higher elevation. (90 92) 2029+
