Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Blanchards

Information

Description

Domaine Arlaud Les Blanchards is a Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru planted with Pinot Noir. The parcel occupies the bed of an old watercourse, where limestone material carried by the current accumulated; the pale colour of the ground explains the climat’s name. Grapes are harvested and sorted by hand, then transferred by gravity. Spontaneous fermentation in open vats is accompanied by gentle maceration, pump-overs and foot treading. Gradual pressing is followed by maturation in oak barrels before bottling without fining or filtration, completing the wine’s cellar development.
