The 2023 Domaine de l'Arlot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de l'Arlot is a benchmark Pinot Noir from the historic Clos de l'Arlot Monopole in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy. Sourced from biodynamically farmed vines rooted in limestone and marl soils, this Premier Cru reflects the finesse and purity of one of the Côte de Nuits' most celebrated enclosed vineyards. The 2023 vintage opens with aromas of raspberry, red cherry and wild strawberry, complemented by rose petals, subtle spice and a delicate mineral lift.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and a beautifully refined texture. Layers of fresh red berries, floral notes and gentle earthy complexity are supported by well-integrated French oak, leading to a long, elegant finish. Careful vineyard management, indigenous yeast fermentation and restrained oak ageing allow the character of the Clos de l'Arlot vineyard to shine with clarity and precision.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for Burgundy enthusiasts seeking a Premier Cru Pinot Noir with elegance, freshness and excellent ageing potential. Pair it with roast duck, veal, mushroom risotto, herb-roasted chicken or aged Comté. Enjoy after a gentle decant, or cellar for the next 12–18 years as it develops greater savoury complexity and finesse.
