Domaine de l’Arlot is a fourteen hectare property in the commune of Prémeaux, just south of the town of Nuits-Saint-Georges. It has been run along biodynamic lines since 2003. There are two hectares of Chardonnay planted in Clos de l’Arlot. This is from grapes grown on the steeply sloping amphitheatre, a site which provides structure. Pink limestone, which contributes to this wine’s exuberant, broad, long-ageing character. The habitual 20% new oak adds further texture and character.
" Excellent density on the entry, which is so opulent as to be almost chewable (a good thing), finding tension and definition as the palate progresses. If there is a comparison elsewhere in the Côte d’Or, it would be Meursault – powerful and yet with a strong sense of chalky minerality.
