Domaine de l'Arlot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de l'Arlot 1.5L MAGNUM 2023

Domaine de l’Arlot Clos de l’Arlot is the estate’s walled Premier Cru monopole, offered here in magnum.

Clos de l’Arlot is the Premier Cru monopole at the heart of the domaine, enclosed by stone walls that date to the eighteenth century, with its oldest vines planted between 1939 and 1951. The site is a steep, concave amphitheatre on hard, rocky ground in the narrowest band of the Côte, close to the forest above Prémeaux, and it produces one of the most delicate and perfumed reds in the whole of the Côte de Nuits. Despite the Nuits-Saint-Georges on the label the wine has more in common with Chambolle than with its neighbours to the north, and it is markedly more ethereal than the nearby Clos des Forêts. The 2023 was made from entirely destemmed fruit, fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and aged for fifteen months in French oak, 40 per cent of it new. The magnum will hold it back and lengthen its life.

Approachable young from a decanter, though this format rewards long cellaring. Serve at 16-18°C with roast chicken, mushroom tart or soft cow’s milk cheese.
