Raffinement et matière aérienne définissent ce bonnes-mares grand cru signé par un domaine bourguignon devenu incontournable. More info

Bonnes Mares is produced on a small vineyard parcel of 20 ares. The soil is clay and chalk with red and white clay. The vines were planted in 1979. Harvested grapes are partially de-stalked and fermented in wooden tanks, using indigenous yeasts only and several cycles of pump-over and punch-down. The wine is then élevaged in oak barrels (80% new) for 16 to 18 months. This grand cru has pleasant fruity aromas (blueberry, raspberry and cherry) with light sweet spice notes (cinnamon and liquorice). The palate is very refined with a light texture, a rounded quality, great depth and pleasant, well-blended tannins. The intense and remarkably long finish is exquisite.

Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru Arlaud serve at a temperature of 16°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Perdreaux rôtis aux noix et au lard gras, Tournedos à la moelle, Coq au vin.

    Information about domain Arlaud

    The origins of Domaine Arlaud date back to World War II when Joseph Arlaud, from the Ardėche, 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
