Nuits St Georges Clos des Forets St Georges Domaine de l’Arlot 2022 (750ML)

€147.00

This iconic wine from Domaine de l’Arlot showcases the complexity and elegance of the Nuits-Saint-Georges terroir. Sourced from a 7-hectare monopole farmed biodynamically, this 2022 Pinot Noir offers an unforgettable tasting experience that begins with a seductive bouquet blending ripe dark fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry) with crushed stone and floral notes. One sip unleashes firm and slightly chalky tannins and an elegant, velvety texture on the concentrated and compact palate. The lively acidity brings the right amount of freshness and tension, perfectly balancing the wine. The finish is long and persistent, rewarding the taste buds with notes of raspberry, lavender and a slightly earthy minerality. This structured medium-bodied wine pairs beautifully with grilled red meats (beef, lamb) especially when dressed in sauced dishes. It is also excellent when served with aged cheeses. If you choose not to open now, the Clos des Forets Saint-Georges possesses excellent aging potential and will continue to develop beautifully over the next decade or more.

Description

James Suckling

97 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: “The very complex, dark and spicy nose leads into a very concentrated and compact palate with a wonderful velvety texture plus terrific tension. Red Burgundy rarely has this intensity of stony minerality (although it is often suggested that this is common). And this is only just beginning to reveal all its treasures. From a seven-hecatre monopole site. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.” 06/24

Neal Martin

94-96 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: ” The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Forêts Saint Georges 1er Cru was also raised in 40% new oak. [Incidentally, 0.6ha will be planted with Chardonnay in 2024]. Slightly deeper in color compared to the Clos de l’Arlot, this has slightly more cohesion and complexity on the nose: dark cherries and crushed stone, a hint of wilted rose petals in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with beautifully integrated new oak, lending this a velvety veneer. It is a little plush yet with equivalent tension and a detailed, slightly piquant finish. This is an outstanding Nuits Saint-Georges from the Domaine. (Drink between 2026-2050)” 01/24

Jasper Morris

92-93 Points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy: ” A fuller purple than either Arlot cuvée, which is as normal. The bouquet holds the promise of clean fruit at optimum ripeness, but does not deliver detail at this point. Plenty of energy here, some slightly firmer tannins, correct acidity, and then the more perfumed red berry fruit, slightly more raspberry here, returns at the back.” 10/23
