North Berkeley Imports:

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 estate maintains one acre of vines in lieu-dit ‘Les Mochamps,’ downslope, on the grand cru vineyard’s western edge. Nearly half the family’s vines were planted in 1978; the rest in 1990. Soils are thin, rocky; the subsoil is pure limestone.

William Kelley:

Another charming, sensual wine from Arlaud, the 2021 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru delivers aromas of orange rind, rose petals, sweet spices and plums. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, with melting tannins, bright acids and a saline finish, it's a pure, elegant rendition of this site.
