Product details
Domaine de l'Arlot Clos des Forêts Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 2022 is the flagship monopole of the historic Domaine de l'Arlot, reflecting the distinctive character and heritage of one of Burgundy's most celebrated Premier Cru vineyards. Produced from the estate's Clos des Forêts Saint Georges vineyard, this Pinot Noir is crafted with meticulous attention to terroir and balance. Following careful vinification, the 2022 vintage is matured for approximately 15 months in oak barrels, with no more than 40% new oak, followed by an additional three months in vats before bottling. This patient approach enhances structure and finesse while preserving the vineyard's purity, resulting in an elegant expression that faithfully represents the identity of Nuits-Saint-Georges.
On the palate, deep floral and fruity notes are complemented by aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and delicate spice, with subtle nuances of blood orange that may emerge depending on the vintage. Full-bodied yet refined, it displays impressive density, a firm structure, and rich, velvety tannins that lead to a long, intense finish. As it develops over time, the fruit gains additional elegance and complexity. This Premier Cru pairs beautifully with roasted duck, beef tenderloin, lamb, mushroom-based dishes, or aged hard cheeses.
