Domaine de L'Arlot Clos des Forets Saint-Georges, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, France 2022
The very complex, dark and spicy nose leads into a very concentrated and compact palate with a wonderful velvety texture plus terrific tension. Red Burgundy rarely has this intensity of stony minerality (although it is often suggested that this is common). And this is only just beginning to reveal all its treasures. From a seven-hecatre monopole site. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des ForĂȘts Saint Georges 1er Cru was also raised in 40% new oak. [Incidentally, 0.6ha will be planted with Chardonnay in 2024]. 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. This is an outstanding Nuits Saint-Georges from the Domaine.

The scintillating fruit purity shines on the nose. Godot said it came naturally as the fruit was in terrific condition. Dried cranberries, lavender, dried flowers and a light earthiness wash across the palate. Lightly chalky tannins buffer the medium body before the zingy acidity pulls the flavors into a solid finish. This will easily age well for a decade or more. (2024)

A fuller purple than either Arlot cuvée, which is as normal. The bouquet holds the promise of clean fruit at optimum ripeness, but does not deliver detail at this point. Plenty of energy here, some slightly firmer tannins, correct acidity, and then the more perfumed red berry fruit, slightly more raspberry here, returns at the back. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted: October 2023.
