White Wine: 2020 | Domaine de l’Arlot | Nuits St Georges Cuvee La Gerbotte Blanc

The delicate, mineral, and floral nose is citrus driven. Aromas of white flowers appear with aeration, forming a complex bouquet. The subtly oaky palate combines richness and freshness. This wine shows a great deal of character with a wonderfully long finish.

Reviews:

• Decanter: Picked comparatively late on September 6th, given that some domains started in August, but this is still a fresh, focused, stylishly balanced white from Graldine Godot with 20% new wood, flavours of citrus and wet stones, some white flower top notes and tangy, palate-cleansing acidity. A great value white that would be very difficult to pick in a blind tasting.

Producer Information

Domaine de l’Arlot is a Burgundy producer in the Cte de Nuits known for its Pinot Noir from select vineyard sites. It is based just south of the township of Nuits Saint-Georges and has vines in several prestigious vineyards including in two premier cru monopole vineyards Clos de Forets Saint-Georges and Clos de l’Arlot. The l’Arlot vineyard was established in the 18th Century when the owner of the property built the encircling wall. Domaine de l’Arlot was expanded by the ngociant Jules Belin after he bought it in 1891. The modern incarnation stems from the sale of the property by Belin’s heirs to French investment firm AXA Millsimes, which also owns several other wine estates including Chteau Pichon-Longueville Baron in Bordeaux. AXA further expanded Domaine de l’Arlot’s holdings with plots in the premier cru Vosne-Romane Les Suchots vineyard and the grand cru Romane Saint-Vivant. Pinot Noir is the dominant variety across most of the domaine’s vineyard holdings, and accounts for its best-known wines. Domaine de l’Arlot also makes small amounts of Chardonnay, including a rare example from Clos de l’Arlot. Farming practices have been organic since 2000 and biodynamic since 2003.
