"At this elite family domaine, the torch is currently being passed from father Herv? to son Cyprien, a young but worldly, fiercely innovative winemaker who, together with his brother Roman, has fashioned a quite impressive batch of 2004s. As Burghound author Allen Meadows enthuses: ?2004 is a seriously good vintage for Arlaud, and it appears that he is maturing into quite a winemaker.? The family practices totally organic viticulture, eliminating tractors for tilling the vineyards in favor of horses. These are concentrated, silky Burgundies that are quite approachable in their youth, but will age beautifully." ~Winery Notes
