Domaine Arlaud Pere et Fils Description
Domaine Arlaud Père et Fils is a reference point for natural Burgundy wines. The singular experience each organically raised cuvée offers is a revelation for even the most experienced palates.
For more than 20 years we’ve partnered with this domaine in Morey-Saint-Denis, witnessing each vintage the ever-greater clarity of expression the family has been able to achieve in each of their harmonious Burgundy wines. Today the family stands side-by-side with Burgundy’s most respected names, especially distinguishing itself with its dedication to organic viticulture.
The family began to cultivate their vineyards organically in 2004. In 2009, they were inspired to push further, establishing biodynamic viticultural practices across all their holdings. As of the 2014 vintage, the estate will hold both organic and biodynamic certification, the very first estate to do so in Morey-Saint-Denis.
‘Roncevie’ is surrounded by villages-level vines of Gevrey-Chambertin, and shares essentially identical exposition and soils. The estate founder, Joseph Arlaud (Cyprien’s grandfather), planted Pinot Noir vines here in 1964 and 1965. The 12-acre plot was at the time rated Gevrey villages; it was reclassified as Bourgogne Rouge a year later.
Tasting Note: Aromas of blueberries, raspberries and irises. Medium-bodied and juicy, with a hint of baking spices on the finish.
Wine Pairing: Autumn flavors, such as pork roast with chestnuts, wild mushrooms
Vinous: 86-88 Points
Reduction knocks down the fruit today though there is excellent freshness and verve to the delicious lighter weight flavors that offer acceptable length on the dusty if slightly edgy finish. The supporting structure should allow this to repay a few years of keeping.
