Goedhuis, December 2023
The monopole Clos de l’Arlot is 4 hectares in total, and 2 of those on the higher slopes are planted with Chardonnay. Always one of the most perfumed white wines from the Cote d’Or, this is a favourite of mine. Floral scent of jasmine, white peach and English pears. The terrific volume sits beautifully within a framework of steely tension and energetic drive. The concentration on the finish gives the impression of a wine with tannic depth. Superb.

Neal Martin, January 2024, Score: 91-93
The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Blanc Clos de l'Arlot 1er Cru was taken from tank on the lees before filtration and fining. Aged in 25% new oak, it offers pretty apple blossom, gooseberry and persimmon scents that gradually unfold, though never completely let loose. The palate is well-balanced, with noticeable weight and heft on the entry. This is a concentrated white Burgundy, yet Géraldine Godot manages to retain sufficient tension and poise, elongating the finish. Apparently, this bottle had opened up considerably since being uncorked the previous day. Touch of ginger on the aftertaste. Punchy! Drinking Window: 2025-2040.
Region
Nuits Saint Georges
The second largest town after Beaune, Nuits St. Georges is known for ample wines that have textured tannins and rich fruit. Unlike other famous Côte de Nuits villages, it has no Grand Crus but does have a handful of exceptional premier cru vineyards such as Clos de l'Arlot, Les Pruliers and AuxMurgers. Its wines can be occasionally rustic, and this sets them apart from many of the more northern appellations as well as from the neighbouring Côte de Beaune whose wines (apart from Pommard) tend to be less structured and more fruit forward. This is no doubt due to a slightly increased presence of clay especially on the Primeaux-Prissey area of the appellation. Notable producers include Domaine de l'Arlot, Jean Grivot and Meo-Camuzet.
