The 2018 Arbois Beranger (Trousseau) emerges from a tiny 0.5-hectare parcel Guillaume D’Angerville purchased from Jacques Puffeney. Dark and exquisitely layered in the glass, the 2018 presents a dark, intense expression of Trousseau, and yet does so while maintaining the freshness and energy that is so typical of these wines. Black cherry, spice, leather, scorched earth and licorice are some of the many notes that give the 2018 its distinctive personality. As appealing as the wine is today, I would cellar it for a few years to allow the full breadth of its aromatics to develop. The Beranger is offered only in magnum. It won’t be easy to find but it is worth the hunt. What a special wine it is. Drink 2022 - 2030.

The new single-vineyard red 2018 Arbois Trousseau Béranger was produced with fruit from a vineyard that used to belong to Jacques Puffeney. It's clean, fruit-driven, has good varietal character and is quite straightforward. The mid-palate lacks a bit of weight. Drink 2021 - 2024.
