Tasting Notes
-
Goedhuis, December 2016
Lemon yellow colour, with the floral notes so typical of Arlot whites and hints of clementine and white peach. A more focused style than the Gerbotte with a racier fruit feel and lovely energy on the finish.

Neal Martin, December 2016,
Score: 89-91The 2015 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Clos de l'Arlot Blanc, aged in 20% new oak, has a crisp, nectarine, white peach and pear-scented bouquet with very fine delineation and vigor. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry with a keen line of acidity, perhaps not quite as complex as the 2014 last year, but retaining very fine freshness and salinity all the way through to the finish. You could enjoy this from bottling, though I would prefer to wait a year or two before opening. Drink Date2018 - 2027

Producer
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
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.
