Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de l'Arlot Domaine de l'Arlot 2016

The wine

The red Clos de l'Arlot Nuits-Saint-Georges, a monopole of the domaine, is undoubtedly one of its most accomplished wines. Its nose evokes black berries, developing into undergrowth and leather. This terroir produces concentrated reds ready for drinking after 5 to 15 years of cellaring.

About the Producer Domaine de l'Arlot

Domaine Arlot takes its name from one of its parcels of land: the Clos de l'Arlot (4 hectare monopole). The domaine also holds a second prestigious premier cru, also as a monopole, the Clos des Forêts Saint Georges, as well as grand cru vines in Romanée-Saint-Vivant. It has been owned by the AXA Millésimes Group since 1987 and is currently 14 hectares in size. The domaine has been working organically since 2000 and with biodynamics since 2003. Its white wines are highly renowned, especially those from the Clos de l'Arlot and Clos des Forêts Saint Georges and its red wines are sublime with superbly vinified grapes in the full harvest. Previously managed by the remarkable Jacques Devauges, vinification has been led since 2014 by Geraldine Godot, from Maison Alex Gambal.
