2019 | Arlot | Nuits St Georges Blanc Clos de l`Arlot

Lemon with a lime tint, showing a touch of reduction which blows off immediately. Whites from both sides. More character here from the nose onwards, builds several layers, clearly merits its 1er cru status. The 2019 volume of fruit but with an engaging energy. Layers of flavour here, enough acidity

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de l'Arlot Blanc mingles aromas of pear and orange oil with hints of white flowers and fresh bread. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise, it's elegantly exotic, with a perfumed, charming profile this year. Geraldine Godot began harvest at the Domaine de l'Arlot on September 12, reporting yields averaging around 22 hectoliters per hectare, and the result is another fine vintage for this important estate. Supple, charming and expressive, this is a lovely portfolio of reds and whites (though, in the era of climate change, it might be time to replant the Chardonnay muscaté growing in the domaine's Hautes-Côtes holdings), and everything reviewed here come recommended.

• Vinous: The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de l'Arlot Blanc 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet showing white flower/dandelion, Golden Delicious apple and light honeysuckle aromas that gently unfold in the glass. The palate is well balanced and displays the waxy texture that I found on the domaine’s other whites this year. There is a touch of textural creaminess, and suggestions of stem ginger toward a finish not far removed from a Corton-Charlemagne.

Producer Information

Domaine de l'Arlot is a Burgundy producer in the Côte de Nuits known for its Pinot Noir from select vineyard sites. It is based just south of the township of Nuits Saint-Georges and has vines in several prestigious vineyards including in two premier cru monopole vineyards – Clos de Forets Saint-Georges and Clos de l'Arlot.The l'Arlot vineyard was established in the 18th Century when the owner of the property built the encircling wall. Domaine de l'Arlot was expanded by the négociant Jules Belin after he bought it in 1891.The modern incarnation stems from the sale of the property by Belin's heirs to French investment firm AXA Millésimes, which also owns several other wine estates including Château Pichon-Longueville Baron in Bordeaux. AXA further expanded Domaine de l'Arlot's holdings with plots in the premier cru Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots vineyard and the grand cru Romanée Saint-Vivant.
