About
2015 was the first solo vintage of Technical Director Géraldine Godot. Over the few vintages that we have been tasting with her, Géraldine has established herself as a reliable source of detail on the growing season and her wines. Domaine de l’Arlot is in safe hands. The domaine has been run along biodynamic lines since 2003.
The domaine is owned by AXA Millésimes, the wine division of the insurance company, as part of a portfolio which also includes Quinta do Noval in the Douro and the Bordeaux Châteaux Pichon-Baron, Petit-Village and Suduiraut. The flagship here is Clos de l’Arlot, a wholly owned monopole adjacent to the domaine, planted with both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Expressive sweet raspberry and wild strawberry aromas give way to a focused and brightly red-fruited palate on the entry before opening onto a mid-palate of pliant red cherry and berry fruit, complemented by patisserie notes and fine chalky tannins. The finish is pithy with a saline focus.100% destemmed with 40% new oak.

This was 45% to 50% whole bunch pressed, the vines now, including the younger parcels, averaging 40 to 45 years. Really dense inky jet purple, the nose presents sweet cherry compote and liquorice, super-fresh, concentrated blackcurrants with hints of citrus providing added vitality. The palate is dense, intense, super-ripe with a wonderful texture. Fine tannins, generous and mineral.
