Goedhuis, December 2021
The monopole Clos de l’Arlot is 4 hectares in total, and 2 of those on the higher slopes are planted with Chardonnay. A more exotic style than the Gerbotte, the flavours of peach and Seville orange give way to creamy richness. Hazelnut and kumquat lift and freshen the palate on the finish. Rich and full-bodied, this is an impressive wine

Neal Martin, January 2022, Score: 89-91
The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de l'Arlot Blanc 1er Cru is well defined on the nose, although it does not quite possess the mineralité that I found on the ‘19 last year. The palate is well balanced with good weight, quite pithy and lightly spiced, touches of lime and Conference pear towards the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle. Drink 2024-2034

Cask sample. Just a whisper of oak on the nose. Refined oiliness of texture and some of that green vegetation perceptible on the Gerbotte 2020. Solid stuff. Drink 2024 – 2030

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.

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.)Read less
Region
Nuits Saint Georges
The second largest town after Beaune, Nuits St. Georges is known for ample wines that have textured tannins and rich fruit. Unlike other famous Côte de Nuits villages, it has no Grand Crus but does have a handful of exceptional premier cru vineyards such as Clos de l'Arlot, Les Pruliers and AuxMurgers. Its wines can be occasionally rustic, and this sets them apart from many of the more northern appellations as well as from the neighbouring Côte de Beaune whose wines (apart from Pommard) tend to be less structured and more fruit forward. This is no doubt due to a slightly increased presence of clay especially on the Primeaux-Prissey area of the appellation. Notable producers include Domaine de l'Arlot, Jean Grivot and Meo-Camuzet.
