Renowned for crafting luscious vintage sweet wines, the Arche Lafaurie Cuvee Madame 2005 signals a triumphant return to form. This vintage was meticulously produced in the esteemed vineyards of Sauternes, France, by revered winemakers Arche and Lafaurie. An apex in craftsmanship, the wine's unflinching adherence to traditional methods affirms its quality. Partially botrytised Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes were meticulously handpicked, then painstakingly fermented in oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop a rich, complex flavour profile. The Arche Lafaurie Cuvee Madame 2005 sings with aromatic notes of honey, apricot, and spice, supported by undertones of roasted nuts, marmalade, and tropical fruits. With its luxuriously silken texture, and resonant, long finish, it exudes opulence. Best served slightly chilled, this wine is a testament to the sublime heights that can be reached when time-honoured winemaking practices are perfectly executed. Expect to be completely transported with every sip of the Arche Lafaurie Cuvee Madame 2005. |

Et Arlaud Morey Saint Denis Clos Solon 2016 epitomises the elegance and complexity of Burgundy's renowned Morey-Saint-Denis appellation. Grown in the esteemed Clos Solon vineyard, the grapes benefit from the unique terroir characterised by limestone-rich soils and optimal drainage, imparting nuanced minerality and depth. Et Arlaud, a distinguished producer with a legacy of meticulous vineyard management, employs sustainable farming practices to ensure the highest quality fruit. Hand-harvested Pinot Noir undergoes gentle maceration and fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preserving delicate aromatics and vibrant colour. The wine is then aged for 18 months in a combination of French oak barrels, enhancing its structure and introducing subtle spice notes. The 2016 vintage, celebrated for its ideal growing conditions, delivers a harmonious balance of ripe red fruits, silky tannins, and a persistent finish. Et Arlaud Morey Saint Denis Clos Solon 2016 is a testament to exceptional craftsmanship and the timeless allure of Burgundy’s finest wines. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Aux Réas comes from vines that Cyprien Arlaud once were too vigorous and he has since managed to tame this. It has a well defined bouquet, surly at first, but opening with black cherry and bilberry fruit, a discrete marine influence in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, lightly spiced with a sprinkling of white pepper towards the finish. Impressive they manner in which this builds. Very elegant. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (90-92)The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Aux Réas has a very attractive and floral bouquet with violet-infused red fruit that bursts from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and a particularly silky texture. An understated, smooth, licorice-tinged finish lingers. Very fine. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (92)The 2019 d'Aiguilhe has a really lovely bouquet of ample black cherry, mulberry and light floral scents, very pure and delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with cedar-infused red fruit. While not as exuberant as the aromatics, this is nicely detailed and quite poised on the finish. No, I still cannot pronounce its name, but this Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux is well worth seeking out. |

Wine Advocate (89)The 1996 d'Armailhac is fully mature on the nose with dark plum, briary, cloves and quite a strong violet aroma. The palate is slightly aggressive on the entry with chalky tannin. The acidity is quite pronounced here, firm in the mouth, masculine for d'Armailhac with less flesh than other vintages, although there is decent freshness and spiciness towards the finish. You could drink this now but I might just afford it another 3-4 years to show its mettle. Tasted July 2016. |
