Goedhuis, December 2012
The most backward wine in the cellar, when tasting in early December, but there was no doubting its huge potential, with its textured and weighted fruit flavours. The undoubted density of fruit will allow this wine to blossom with age, to be something very special indeed.

Burghound, January 2013, Score: 91-93
(from a .25 ha parcel that was planted in 1973 - an average vintage produces 3 barrels). As onewould fully expect, this is aromatically completely different from the nose of the Clos des Forêts with its beautifully elegant and medium-toned nose of highly spiced dark berry fruit liqueur suffused nose. The supple and seductively silky flavors are underpinned by refined tannins before terminating in a finish that is borderline creamy yet quite firm. I like the overall sense ofharmony though this isn’t really a classically styled RSV. (91-93)/2023+

Domaine de l'Arlot
Domaine de l'Arlot was created in 1987 when AXA Millésimes purchased the property in Prémeaux, just south of Nuits St Georges. Its history as a domaine, however, stretches back far into the Burgundian annals passing through the Vienot and Belin dynasties before AXA’s acquisition. The domaine’s recent history has been shaped by the influence of Jean-Pierre de Smet who ran the domaine for almost two decades before Christian Seely took over direction. In 2014 Christian installed Géraldine Godot as technical manager and winemaker. A native Burgundian, she is a qualified microbiologist and oenologist, and looks set for a bright future at this Côte de Nuits estate. The domaine favours whole bunch fermentation, seeking to produce wines with refinement and finesse. (Not to be confused with Domaine Arlaud in Morey St Denis.)Region
Romanée Saint Vivant
Romanée-St-Vivant, which takes its name from the monastery of St-Vivant founded in c. 900, is a Grand Cru vineyard in Vosne-Romanée on the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy. It is the largest of Vosne-Romanée's six Grands Crus and produces red wine only. The vineyard is located on the slope to the north of the town of Vosne-Romanée and is the nearest vineyard to this village. Romanée-Saint-Vivant's soils are deep and rich in clay and lime, which means the wines of Romanée-St-Vivant are usually lighter and less powerful than its neighbours'. Domaine de la Romanée Conti is the largest proprietor, owning over half of the area's 9.5 ha.
