Domaine De L'Arlot Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Blanc Clos De L'Arlot 2017

"The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de l'Arlot Blanc reveals pretty aromas of citrus oil, pastry cream and crisp yellow apple, followed by a medium to full-bodied, succulent and enveloping palate that's lively and charmingly open-knit. This is an elegant, nicely defined white that should develop nicely for a decade or more in bottle." William Kelley, The Wine Advocate.

The Clos De L'Arlot vineyard is rugged and rocky, with hillsides so steep that they preclude the use of machinery and all work on the vines has to be done by hand. Such painstaking labour is both necessary and worthwhile, for this is a vineyard of unique quality and character. The combination of old vines and fermentation at low temperature to capture the best of the fruit character of the grapes expresses the radiance of the great Chardonnay from this monopole vineyard.
