Domaine De L'arlot Description
The nose brings out deep, intense floral and fruity notes, mixed with hints of spice. Described as a more muscular wine, the palate is straightforward yet complex, elegant and full-bodied. The finish is long and intense, suggesting that it will keep well. This is a very fine wine with velvety tannins.
James Suckling: 97 Points
The very complex, dark and spicy nose leads into a very concentrated and compact palate with a wonderful velvety texture plus terrific tension. Red Burgundy rarely has this intensity of stony minerality (although it is often suggested that this is common). And this is only just beginning to reveal all its treasures. From a seven-hecatre monopole site. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Vinous: 94-96 Points
The 2022 Nuits Saint Georges Clos des Forets Saint Georges 1er Cru was also raised in 40% new oak. Slightly deeper in color compared to the Clos de l'Arlot, this has slightly more cohesion and complexity on the nose: dark cherries and crushed stone, a hint of wilted rose petals in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with beautifully integrated new oak, lending this a velvety veneer. It is a little plush yet with equivalent tension and a detailed, slightly piquant finish. This is an outstanding Nuits Saint Georges from the Domaine. Drink 2026-2050
