Domaine De L'arlot Description
Tasting Note
The nose is fine, open, dense and both intensely fruity and floral. The subtle woodiness adds a touch of elegance to the notes of roses and peonies. The palate is powdery and silky. This is a full-bodied, supple wine with delicate tannins and great elegance.
James Suckling: 96 Points
Complex nose of candied orange peel, orange blossoms and fresh almonds with hints of vanilla and beeswax. Here is exactly the combination of concentration, restrained ripeness and elegance that we look for in high-end white Burgundy. At the upper edge of medium-bodied, the candied citrus character expands as it flows over your palate. Very long, complete finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Vinous: 91-93 Points
The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Blanc Clos de l'Arlot 1er Cru was taken from tank on the lees before filtration and fining. Aged in 25% new oak, it offers pretty apple blossom, gooseberry and persimmon scents that gradually unfold, though never completely let loose. The palate is well-balanced, with noticeable weight and heft on the entry. This is a concentrated white Burgundy, yet Géraldine Godot manages to retain sufficient tension and poise, elongating the finish. Apparently, this bottle had opened up considerably since being uncorked the previous day. Touch of ginger on the aftertaste. Punchy!
