Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Cyprien Arlaud Oka Bourgogne feels like a gentle stroll through a sun-dappled Burgundy vineyard, where wild cherries and crushed violets mingle with the earthy scent of forest floor. Crafted in France, this Pinot Noir delivers a vibrant palate layered with tart red berries, subtle spice, and an elegant mineral backbone that lingers gracefully. With an alcohol by volume of 13.00%, its supple tannins and bright acidity make it a natural companion for rich duck breast or creamy mushroom risotto, elevating each bite with its pure expression of terroir and finesse.

Producer Information: Domaine Arlaud

Domaine Arlaud, rooted in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, was established in 1942 by Joseph Arlaud, who combined his Burgundian heritage with his wife’s vineyard holdings to create a family estate that has grown steadily over generations. Based in Morey-Saint-Denis, the domaine is celebrated for its commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture, emphasizing minimal intervention and a deep respect for terroir across their holdings in prestigious appellations like Chambolle-Musigny and Gevrey-Chambertin. Their approach centers on hand-harvesting and traditional vinification methods that highlight the nuances of Pinot Noir from each parcel. Beyond their flagship red Burgundies, Domaine Arlaud also crafts expressive white wines from Chardonnay sourced within the Côte de Nuits Villages appellation, further showcasing their dedication to site-specific expression and sustainable practices unique to this storied region.
