    Producer

    The Domaine Arlaud vineyard is situated on clay-limestone soils typical of the Côte d'Or, which promote the expression of the complex aromas of Pinot Noir. The vines, planted on well-exposed slopes, benefit from an ideal microclimate, where the daytime warmth is balanced by the cool nights. This climatic harmony allows for a slow and even ripening of the grapes, essential for the quality of the wines. The average age of the vines, often exceeding 30 years, contributes to the aromatic concentration and depth of the wines produced.

    Owner and history

    The estate is now run by the Arlaud family, who are passionate about winemaking. The Arlaud brothers, committed to environmental preservation, practice cultivation methods that respect biodiversity. Their artisanal approach and dedication to quality make Domaine Arlaud a benchmark in the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation. Each wine is an expression of their family heritage and their love for the Burgundy terroir.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Domaine Arlaud is carried out with care and precision. The grapes are harvested by hand and then rigorously sorted. Fermentation takes place in open vats, allowing for a gentle extraction of tannins and aromas. Aging occurs in oak barrels, some of which are new, for a period of 12 to 18 months. This meticulous process allows the aromas to refine while respecting the identity of the terroir. Bottling is done without filtration, thus preserving the purity and richness of the wine.
