    These vines are in the small commune of Comblanchien, lying between Nuits St Georges and Ladoix-Serrigny, but this wine has the presence of a Nuits St Georges. Light brick red colour, perfumed cinnamon and truffle scent. A light easy gracious style, forward and very pleasurable.

    A slightly paler crimson, especially at the rim. The bouquet is rather heavily reduced. This comes across as lighter than the Hautes Côtes de Nuits, with a dry finish, still some cherry notes with a light bitterness. Also barrel char? Now in tank for bottling in December. Drink from 2024-2027.

    Domaine de l’Arlot is 15 hectares in total and of them, Clos des Forêts St Georges covers 7.2 hectares. Considered by many, alongside its Les St Georges neighbours, of Grand Cru stature. Deep garnet colour, this is so exquisitely composed, with sweet alpine fruit flavours. An opening attack of tannic tension unfolds to show rich layered flavours of exotic spice, a touch of leather musk and dark berries. A degree of muscle and great depth. It certainly shows off its Grand Cru intent this vintage.

  • Neal Martin, January 2023, Score: 93-95

    The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Forêts Saint Georges 1er Cru is more expressive than the Clos de l'Arlot on the nose: vivid scents of raspberry, cranberry, sous-bois and just a very slight steeliness. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, almost angular tannins, fresh and very tensile, quite saline to the extent where I fully agree that any stem addition would have been superfluous. Persistent and graceful on the finish, this is superb. Drink 2025-2042.

  • Jasper Morris MW, November 2022, Score: 91-94

    Dense red to crimson. The bouquet is a little more closed than Les Suchots, but with a suggestion of a fair intensity of fruit to follow. Prettily floral, cherry and raspberry too, this is rather stylish, still with a little biscuit note from the barrel, like many of these wines in their youth. Without being in the style of the blockbuster vintages, there is still good energy here for the future. Drink from 2027-2033.
