Tasting Notes

92-94
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de l'Arlot 1er Cru has a really entrancing bouquet this year: pure red berry fruit, rose petal and light melted tar scents unfurling from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with the stem addition noticeable on the entry, but simpatico with the fruit, hints of truffle and morels towards the finish. Good potential here - clever winemaking.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 20 Jan 22
An unusually rich and muscular rendition of this site, the 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de l'Arlot mingles notes of sweet berry fruit and plums with notions of warm spices, rose petals, orange rind and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, firm and structured, with a deep core of fruit and lively acids, it will demand patience.

Cask sample. Deep crimson. Fragrance gives the impression of trying hard to escape this concentrated wine! Odd sweetness on the palate and then slightly bitter on the end. Rather sudden finish. (JR)

Nuits-Saint-Georges

Nuits-Saint-Georges, a renowned appellation in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, is famous for its robust, structured Pinot Noir wines with rich flavours of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, along with earthy, spicy notes. Known for firm tannins and full-bodied character, these wines are ideal for ageing. Although lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Saint-Georges and Les Vaucrains produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine Henri Gouges, Domaine Faiveley, and Domaine Robert Chevillon, all celebrated for showcasing the unique terroir with traditional winemaking.
