Domaine de l'Arlot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'Clos des Forêts Saint Georges' Monopole 2022
Region: Nuits-Saint-Georges, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Variety: Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2022
Farming: Certified Organic
Winemaking: 100% destemmed, indigenous yeast fermentation, aged in 40% new French oak barrels
The Wine
Sourced from the 7.2-hectare monopole vineyard 'Clos des Forêts Saint Georges', this wine embodies the diversity of Nuits-Saint-Georges' terroir, encompassing Ladoix limestone, Premeaux limestone, and white oolite limestone soils. The 2022 vintage presents a medium-bodied palate with beautifully integrated new oak, lending a velvety texture. Flavors of dark cherries, crushed stone, and wilted rose petals culminate in a detailed, slightly piquant finish.
Cellared Says
A profound expression of Nuits-Saint-Georges, from the fablous 2022 vintage. Combining power, elegance, and a ‘classic’ sense of place. It’s wrapped in a velvet vinous glove, loads of lifted violet fruits, brambly, lush and lovely.
Reviews
“The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Forêts Saint Georges 1er Cru was also raised in 40% new oak. 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.”
