In 1942, Joseph Arlaud, a young man from the Ardèche, married Renée Amiot, whose Burgundian family gave the couple vineyards in Morey-Saint-Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin as a wedding present. Joseph began adding parcels in 1949, and in 1966 he acquired a 600-year-old cellar in Nuits-Saint-Georges, once the town’s salt store, that has appeared on every Arlaud label since. His son Hervé took over in 1983 and kept adding. The estate now covers 17 hectares and 19 appellations, including parcels in four grands crus. Hervé’s son Cyprien joined in 1998 and spent the next sixteen years taking the domaine organic and then biodynamic. In 2014 Arlaud became the first estate in Morey-Saint-Denis to hold Biodyvin certification. Since 2004 his sister Bertille has plowed the five hectares of premier and grand cru vines with the draft horses Nougat and Oka, whose hooves leave the soil loose where a tractor would pack it down. For years Cyprien braided only the Bonnes-Mares, weaving the canes along the top wire rather than hedging them, which spares the plant the stress of cutting and shades the fruit. In 2024 he extended the practice to every premier and grand cru. In the gravity-fed winery designed in 2003, the fruit is sorted on three lines, ferments uncrushed on indigenous yeasts in open vats worked by foot, and ages 15 to 18 months in barrel with no more than 20 percent new oak before it is bottled on the lunar calendar without fining or filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAux Cheseaux occupies the opposite end of Morey, on the Gevrey-Chambertin border, where its rows run up against Charmes-Chambertin. The name comes from the Latin casale, a building plot, the same root that gives Échezeaux its name. It marks ground where Gallo-Roman walls once stood; beneath it, the broken bedrock has weathered into a pale marl thick with white limestone. The domaine's 0.71 hectares were planted in 1980 and give around 4,000 bottles in a typical year. In 2024 Cyprien plowed less than usual so that cover crops could drink up the spring rain, sprayed the vines 25 times with copper and plant infusions to hold back mildew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 is closed and a little reductive for now, with its potential clear: cranberry and pomegranate, a fine lattice of tannin, a saline edge and a grip on the finish that suggests three or four additional years in bottle will benefit the wine. Drink 2029 through 2044.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yes Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67895105093928,"sku":"AT24ARLAUDCHESAUX750","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/1794\/6152\/files\/DomaineArlaud_Morey-Saint-Denis_AuxChesaux.jpg?v=1792513160","url":"https:\/\/yes-society.com\/products\/2024-domaine-arlaud-morey-saint-denis-aux-chesaux-1er-cru-burgundy-france","provider":"Yes Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
