About the Producer
The story of Domaine Arlaud begins like many of the world's great stories do, with the love between a French man and woman. It was during WW2 that Joseph Arlaud (originally from the Ardeche) met and fell in love with a Burgundian woman by the name of Renee Amiot. Her family just happened to own a few choice parcels of land in the Cotes de Nuits, which included little vineyards by the name of Clos St. Denis and Bonnes Mares. Part of the couple's wedding gifts included these parcels and so was born Domaine Arlaud. Joseph's son Herve Arlaud took over the estate in 1982 and expanded the domaine with purchases of prime vineyards, mostly in their home village of Morey St. Denis. Today, the star of the show is Hevre's son Cyprien, who in the last ten years, has come into his own as one of the most exciting growers in all of France.
