Domaine De L'Arlot Nuits Saint Georges Blanc La Gerbotte 2019 750 ML

Picked comparatively late on September 6th, given that some domains started in August, but this is still a fresh, focused, stylishly balanced white from Géraldine Godot with 20% new wood, flavours of citrus and wet stones, some white flower top notes and tangy, palate-cleansing acidity.\n \n Producer Information\n \n Domaine de L'Arlot is one of the seminal properties in Nuits St. Georges. The domaine was co-owned by Jean-Pierre de Smet, who spent eight years alongside Jacques Seysses of Domaine Dujac before taking over L’Arlot in 1986. Today, the domaine consists of 14 hectares planted to mostly Pinot Noir, with 5% devoted to Chardonnay for their ultra-rare white wines. The oldest vines are 70+ years old, with the average age close to 50. While the estate’s core is in the monopoles of Clos des Forêts Saint Georges and Clos de l’Arlot, the domaine also consists of two parcels in the village of Vosne-Romanée that were added in 1991. In 2015 the very talented Geraldine Godot took over the domaine. With Geraldine’s inspired leadership, Domaine de l’Arlot is committed to maintaining their classic, elegant style of terroir driven wines in hopes of providing the sort of divine pleasure only classic Burgundy delivers.
