Archives from the end of the 18^th century recorded Jean-Charles Vienot as owner of a house and vines in the village of Prémeaux. He was descended from a long line of Burgundians. He built a wall around the domaine and created the Clos de l'Arlot, which is today a Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru.

The property was sold to wine merchant Jules Belin in 1891. He extended the estate through his purchase of the Clos des Forêts Saint Georges and the Clos du Chapeau, the whole of which went to form the Domaine de l'Arlot. His heirs transferred the buildings and vines to AXA Millésimes at the beginning of 1987. Since then, AXA Millésimes has acquired two plots in Vosne Romanée: Vosne Romanée 1er Cru—Les Suchots and Romanée Saint Vivant Grand Cru.
