Domaine de l'Arlot - Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru - Clos de l'Arlot - Monopole - Red - 2023

Wine:

Full of finesse, the 2023 Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Clos de l'Arlot Monopole Red stands out for its delicate, beautifully balanced flavours — red berries, rose, and peony — all woven together with juicy tension, velvety tannins, silky texture, and fully ripe fruit.

Awarded 3 stars by the prestigious French wine guide RVF (Revue du Vin de France), Domaine de l’Arlot is one of Burgundy’s crown jewels. An iconic estate founded in the 18th century, a star of the Côte de Nuits, it expresses the very soul of Pinot Noir with quiet intensity — and also crafts one of the most distinctive, seductive Whites in the region.

Under the guidance of Géraldine Godot for the past decade, the estate’s 15 organically farmed hectares include true gems like Romanée Saint-Vivant Grand Cru, Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru Les Suchots, and its flagship Clos des Forêts Saint-Georges — a 7.2-hectare monopole managed as a single, unbroken parcel.
