"Domaine Arlaud is a reference point for natural Burgundy wines. Preserving the health and character of their vineyards is of utmost importance to this generations-deep biodynamic winemaking clan. Today the Arlauds stand side-by-side with Burgundy’s most respected names. The estate holds both organic and biodynamic certifications, the very first to do so in Morey-Saint-Denis.
The family’s quarter-acre of vines (within Bonnes Mares) feed from limestone and mostly red clay soils, with a portion on white clay soils. Vines planted in 1979. The vineyard draws its name from ancient sculptures that were found at the site, a trio of goddesses or “good fairies.”
