Red and dark fruit, spice and earthy notes. A structured and generous Nuits with firm tannins and lovely aromatic persistence from Cyprien Arlaud.
The Nuits-Saint-Georges 2023 from Cyprien Arlaud is the flagship village cuvée of this appellation in the négociant range, a Pinot Noir of the fullness and generosity typical of Nuits, sourced from two complementary parcels whose vines are entirely farmed by the domaine team according to biodynamic principles. Now leading the family domaine, Cyprien Arlaud crafts serious wines through meticulous and healthy viticulture, committed to organic farming since 2004 and biodynamics since 2009.
The terroir and vineyard
This Nuits-Saint-Georges comes from two parcels: 50% Petite Charmotte and 50% Les Argillats. These two lieu-dits in the northern part of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation offer complementary soil profiles that nourish the richness and complexity of the cuvée. Petite Charmotte, on clay-limestone soils, brings the roundness, generosity and flesh typical of the appellation, while Les Argillats, on more clayey soils, contribute structure, spice and the mineral depth characteristic of the Côte de Nuits. The Pinot Noir comes from old vines planted in 1959, farmed biodynamically on clay-limestone soils. The domaine team handles every task from pruning to harvest. Hand-picked grapes and controlled yields. 100% destemmed, gentle pressing, 16 months' ageing in oak with 25% new barrels. Bottled without fining or filtration and respecting lunar cycles.
Tasting profile
This Nuits-Saint-Georges shows a deep ruby colour. Its fruited nose is particularly pleasant, revealing nuances of black cherry complemented by a spicy touch. On the palate, it stands out for its fullness and generosity, paired with remarkable balance that extends to an elegant finish. The wine reveals itself as deep, its fruit completed by lightly spicy notes and structured by silky tannins. The aromas are bright with black cherry, fresh raspberry and violet, supported by a finely spiced and mineral framework. The palate is full, velvety, carried by silky tannins and fine tension. A frank, direct Nuits-Saint-Georges of great drinkability, accessible now and capable of fine evolution over five to eight years.
The domaine
Cyprien Arlaud represents the third generation of Domaine Arlaud, founded in 1942 from the meeting of Burgundian Renée Amiot and Ardéchois Joseph Arlaud. In 2013, Cyprien succeeded his father Hervé and has farmed the domaine biodynamically since 2009, becoming the first Biodyvin-certified domaine in Morey-Saint-Denis in 2014. Helped in the vineyard by his sister Bertille, who founded a horse-ploughing company, he produces wines of precision and purity that quickly won over the international press and collectors. Since 2012, his passion for Burgundy's diverse terroirs led him to develop a négociant activity under the Cyprien Arlaud label, for which his team farms all vines from pruning to harvest with the same biodynamic rigour as the family domaine.
Food pairing
This Nuits-Saint-Georges pairs beautifully with braised veal shank with herbs, beef fillet with wild mushrooms, long-simmered beef bourguignon, rack of lamb with Provençal herbs, or venison in sauce. It will also find fine harmony with aged cheeses such as Époisses or Soumaintrain. Served between 16 and 17°C, it will reveal the full fruited richness and meaty typicity of a Nuits-Saint-Georges from old vines vinified with care and conviction.
