Domaine Arlaud


The new generation with Cyprien Arlaud
Arlaud
The Wine Advocate describes Arlaud wines as quintessential, hedonistic fruit bombs that are sure to please just about everyone.? That will not change. What has changed over the last few years is the increasing role of young Cyprien, the heir apparent of the domaine. He finished his wine studies and several months of doing what are known as stages, working in wineries around the world. Now fully on board, the most important thing he did was help intensify the green harvests in the vineyards. Later, at harvest time, he and his father agreed that up to three pickings would be needed in some of their vineyards, to get the best fruit at the perfect moment. Such extra effort is extremely rare in Burgundy.

The synergy between son Cyprien and his father Herve is the reason Arlaud has been on fire since the 1999 vintage. They are clearly father and son to look at, but quite different in personality. Cyprien, in his mid-twenties, has already seen more of the world than his father. He is more outgoing and more willing to innovate. At the same time he is immensely proud of his father and the tradition he will someday inherit. Herve could not be prouder of his son or more willing to listen to him. This is the rarest, ideal scenario imaginable.

Cyprien’s goal is to help improve what is already there. One by one he is systematically trying to improve the wine from each vineyard. This work begins in the vines, of course, and the young man is rethinking everything they do there. Could the explanation for strikingly better wines be as simple as better grapes? Certainly, but there is also a priceless, unquantifiable dynamic at work that comes from a happy family doing what it does best. Harmony at home equals harmony in the wine. It does follow.

There are his brother Romain and his sister Bertille, they work in harmony for this Domaine.

Bertille Arlaud worked at the domain since 2005. She owned a good formation and good trainings, and she is now in charge of the ploughing of the soils with a horse. The best soil are ploughed by horses slowly to avoid to pack down the soil.

Hand in hand, they work for the best of the Domaine…
