framing the cool

the 2013 packs a real punch

lead pencil shavings and crushed rock

40% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah that spent 16 months in equal parts concrete tanks and smaller barrels

5% the highest in alcohol of this years Breuer cru-bottlings (whereas it was the lightest of them in 2009)

Arlaud, Morey Saint Denis Rouge Size:12x750ml framing the cool(from Clos Solon and En Seuvrey). Strong reduction flattens the underlying fruit. The slightly tighter medium weight flavors possess good delineation and punch before terminating in a saline and mildly austere finale. This will need a year or two of bottle age to better harmonize as its somewhat awkward today. (87 89) 2021+
