Goedhuis, December 2023
Situated opposite the Clos de L’Arlot, this is a northerly exposed vineyard producing a bright and racy white wine with scents of fresh lime, grapefruit and lemon sherbet. Bottled just after the harvest following 10 months barrel aging, which gives a veneer of walnut and almond on the finish.

Neal Martin, January 2024, Score: 89
Returning after being frosted in 2021, the 2022 Côte de Nuits Blanc Villages Au Leurey, which had already been bottled, has a tightly wound bouquet with Conference pear, red apples and light frangipane scents loitering in the wings. Fine delineation, though not powerful. The palate is well-balanced with a taut line of acidity. There’s more tension than the Le Mont Blanc, with a twist of bitter lemon enlivening the finish. Give this a year in bottle if you can. A fine comeback. Drinking Window: 2024-2030.

Jasper Morris MW, October 2023, Score: 88
Frosted out in 2021, welcome back. A little white fruit, nicely strict but with good intensity. Fine length, and the fruit is well supported by a little barrel. No new wood. Drink from 2025-2027.

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
Côte de Nuits Villages
This communal appellation covers the vineyards of Fixin, Brochon, Premeaux, Comblanchien, and Corgoloin. Spread along the length of the Cotes de Nuits the wines of the different communes are, unsurprisingly, varied, reflecting a range of different exposures and nuances of soild type. The vast majority of production is red, with just a smattering of Chardonnay grown. The reds can offer very good value from the better producers.
