Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Petits Plets Domaine de l'Arlot 2010

The wine

The Les Petits Plets premier cru is produced from young vines grown in the Clos des Forêts Saint Georges; it forms an excellent pairing with cheese and grilled red meat. The colour is an attractive dark ruby, and the nose exudes black fruit aromas as well as spicy notes. Very full-bodied in the mouth, with attractive, well-integrated tannins and freshness.

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.
