Bourgogne Roncevie Arlaud 2015

The wine

This red Burgundy comes from a parcel of almost 5 hectares in Gevrey-Chambertin. The vines were planted by Joseph Arlaud, the domain’s founder. The grapes are harvested by hand and destemmed. Maceration precedes fermentation, which serves to extract as much colour and flavor as possible. The wine is vinified and matured traditionally in oak casks. Its body combines well-integrated tannins and finesse. This fruity wine should be drunk young with a cheese and charcuterie board.

The origins of Domaine Arlaud date back to World War II when Joseph Arlaud, from the Ard?che, met and married a lady from Bourgogne, Renée Amiot, whose family owned a vineyard. The couple developed and expanded the domaine. In 1982, their son, Hervé Arlaud took over and enlarged the domaine further, while developing bottle sales. Today, the third generation (Bertille, Cyprien and Romain) manage the operation and do very high quality work. The 15 hectare vineyard is certified organic and biodynamic and includes the very fine terroirs of Bonnes-Mares, Charmes-Chambertin and also Clos de la Roche. The vines and soil are well worked (ploughed by horses) and the élevage is increasingly controlled, producing magnificent, very pure wine with remarkable finesse. This area is widely acclaimed by critics and loved by fans
