Charmes-Chambertin is known for producing the most refined wines among the Grand Cru vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin. Domaine Arlaud has a small but excellent plot within this region, located at the highest part of the 'Mazoyères' section of Charmes. This plot is in close proximity to the starting point of the Latricières section, specifically Domaine Leroy's portion, which produces a highly sought-after wine priced at $1,500-$2,000 per bottle. Within the Charmes-Chambertin vineyard, Domaine Arlaud cultivates three distinct sections with varying vine ages: one with vines over 80 years old, another with vines over 50 years old, and a third with vines over 25 years old. Each section is processed separately during vinification. The wine is matured in 30% new barrels and typically includes around 30% whole grape clusters during fermentation, depending on the specific characteristics of the vintage.

Domaine Arlaud is a 15-hectare estate managed by Cyprien Arlaud since 2013. Established in 1942 by Cyprien's grandparents, the estate inherited select vineyard parcels within exceptional vineyards. Currently, the estate encompasses 19 distinct vineyard sites governed by appellation regulations, a state-of-the-art winery in Moray Saint Denis, and four Grand Cru plots. Notably progressive, Domaine Arlaud recognized the detrimental impact of modern agriculture early on, discontinuing herbicide usage in 1998. Subsequently, they transitioned to organic farming in 2004 and achieved certification as a biodynamic estate in 2009. Under Cyprien's guidance, the wines produced exhibit remarkable finesse and intensity. They possess a profound and complex character, solidifying their place among the finest wines of the region.
