Cyprien Arlaud, formerly A & Arlaud, represents a discreet and highly selective Burgundy négoce, built around carefully sourced grapes from fine Côte d’Or terroirs. Extending the Burgundian sensibility associated with Morey-Saint-Denis, these cuvées focus on Pinot Noir finesse, bright fruit, freshness and a precise, elegant expression of place.
Cyprien Arlaud — Formerly A & Arlaud, a Confidential Burgundy Négoce
Cyprien Arlaud, formerly A & Arlaud, is the personal négoce project of Cyprien Arlaud, a respected figure in Morey-Saint-Denis. This selection, distinct from the family Domaine Arlaud, offers a refined exploration of complementary Burgundy terroirs, guided by the same search for precision, freshness, textural finesse and respect for each wine’s origin.
The wines from this range remain discreetly distributed and are increasingly sought after by lovers of contemporary Burgundy. Depending on the vintage, the cuvées may come from different Côte d’Or appellations, with particular attention given to grape quality, natural ripeness and the elegance of Pinot Noir.
A selection of Burgundy terroirs
This project allows Cyprien Arlaud to work with grapes from parcels that complement the vineyards of the family domaine. It is not a volume-driven négoce, but a precise selection built around trusted partners and terroirs capable of producing wines with clarity, balance and finesse.
This freedom of selection gives the range a particular appeal for Burgundy enthusiasts. It offers access to limited cuvées shaped by a winemaker known for detail, aromatic purity and understated vinification.
Cyprien Arlaud favours Burgundy built on precision rather than power: carefully selected grapes, measured extraction, discreet ageing and wines centred on fruit purity, balance and fine tannins.
Grapes and vinification
Grape quality is at the heart of this range. The cuvées are made from carefully selected fruit, with a preference for well-farmed vineyards and natural ripeness, in order to preserve freshness, fragrance and the delicate structure of Pinot Noir.
In the cellar, the approach remains restrained and precise. Vinification is designed to guide rather than force the fruit: gentle extraction, fine tannins, measured ageing and a clear expression of appellation. The resulting wines are elegant, digestible and firmly rooted in the spirit of contemporary Burgundy.
Wine style
The wines signed Cyprien Arlaud, formerly A & Arlaud, stand out for their clean fruit, freshness and delicate mouthfeel. Aromas often include cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, redcurrant and small dark berries, supported by floral notes, fine spice and a discreet earthy nuance with bottle age.
On the palate, the style remains lifted, precise and never heavy. The tannins are fine, the texture supple, and the finishes favour balance, freshness and aromatic persistence. These are Burgundies of pleasure and precision, well suited to fine dining and to collectors looking for more confidential signatures.
Why seek out these bottles?
The Cyprien Arlaud cuvées offer an attractive reading of Burgundy: the freedom of a négoce selection combined with the standards of a recognised winemaker. For clients who enjoy fine, expressive Pinot Noir made in limited quantities, these bottles represent a particularly compelling opportunity.
Their appeal lies both in the quality of the signature and in their limited availability. Some bottles, still labelled A & Arlaud depending on the vintage, can become difficult to find once allocations are gone. They deserve the attention of Burgundy lovers seeking elegant, rare and carefully selected wines.
