rich palate

I appreciate the freshness and the piquant finish

or even parts of vineyards

It is a blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvedre (this is sometimes a split of Syrah and Mourvedre) thats aged mostly in 1-2-and 3-year-old

This also presently reflects evident oak and it’s enough to partially overshadow the cool and airy aromas of various dark berries

Philippe Pacalet, Pommard Arvelets other_regions rich palateA 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+
