2022 Cyprien Arlaud Nuit St.Georges 1er Aux Chaignots Cuvee Joseph
| Description: | Domaine Arlaud is a family-owned wine producer based in Morey-Saint-Denis, in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits subregion. Also known as Domaine Arlaud Père & Fils, it is best known for its Pinot Noir vineyards both in Morey and in neighboring Chambolle-Musigny and Gevrey-Chambertin. These include holdings in the Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint-Denis, Charmes-Chambertin, and Bonnes-Mares grand cru sites. Domaine Arlaud owns 15 hectares (37 acres) of vineyard land and, after establishing organic farming in the vineyards in 2004, became the first certified biodynamic estate in Morey-Saint-Denis in 2014. Bertille Arlaud also manages Auxois horses used to plough both the family domaine and those of other estates.Grapes are picked by hand, sorted twice, and destemmed, although a portion of whole bunches is retained. Like many domaines in the region, after being placed in tank, grapes undergo a pre-ferment cold maceration before fermentation is allowed to kick-off with naturally occurring yeasts. Pumpovers, or "remontage", during fermentation are the standard at Arlaud, with "pigeage" (punchdowns) rarely used. |
