The 2023 Domaine de l'Arlot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos des Forêts Saint Georges is a benchmark Pinot Noir from the domaine's historic Clos des Forêts Saint Georges Monopole in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy. This celebrated 7.2-hectare walled vineyard is planted entirely to Pinot Noir across limestone-rich soils, producing wines renowned for their depth and longevity. The 2023 vintage opens with aromas of red cherry, blackberry and crushed strawberry, layered with blood orange, subtle spice and delicate floral notes.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, well-integrated tannins, vibrant acidity and a beautifully silky texture. Flavours of ripe red berries, savoury spice and mineral notes unfold across a long, refined finish. Matured for 15 months in French oak, including around 40% new barrels, the wine balances concentration with elegance, offering impressive structure and excellent ageing potential.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for Burgundy collectors and lovers of classic Premier Cru Pinot Noir with depth and finesse. Pair it with roast duck, beef fillet, herb-crusted lamb, wild mushroom dishes or aged Comté. Enjoy after a gentle decant, or cellar for the next 15–20 years as it develops even greater complexity and elegance.
