RATINGS

92-94Vinous / IWC

...pure red berry fruit, rose petal and light melted tar scents...palate is medium-bodied with the stem addition noticeable on the entry, but simpatico with the fruit, hints of truffle and morels towards the finish.

90-92+ The Wine Advocate

...scents of cherries, cassis and plums. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it's a broad shouldered, muscular wine with a deep core of fruit and a notable payload of rich, powdery tannins.

89-91Burghound.com

...fresh and energetic medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract while the moderately firm and youthfully austere finish flashes a hint of bitter chocolate.

15.5+ Jancis Robinson

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Nuits-St.-Georges, Clos de L'Arlot

Clos de L’Arlot is a 13.4-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Nuits-Saints-Georges appellation, in Burgundy’s Cote-de-Nuits. It is one of a string of Premier Cru vineyards on the southern edge of the appellation that are in the commune of Premeaux. These vineyards are steep with a grade of about 35%. Clos de L’Arlot is a monopole of Domaine de L’Arlot. Burgundy writer Clive Coates has noted that Clos de L’Arlot is “feminine, the fruit flavors cherry and red, and red currant-like.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
