Tasting notes
The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de l'Arlot Blanc 1er Cru has a more complex bouquet with orange blossom, walnut oil and crushed stone scents that unfurl in the glass. There is a real sense of energy and fine delineation. The palate is beautifully balanced with real intensity and drive; the acidity maintains tension and energy. Wonderful detail and nuance on the finish with touches of hazelnut, chamomile and spices. Long and tender, this is a top-notch...what I thought was Meursault but turns out to be Nuits Saint-Georges! Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Delicate aromas of lemon blossom and apricots with just a hint of flint that expands with aeration, that turns more and more in a creamy direction. An extremely elegant white Burgundy with great focus and stony minerality at the long finish. The concentration is there, but doesn’t make a big noise. Excellent integration of discrete oak and fruit. From two parcels in the mid-slope of this site. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de l'Arlot Blanc 1er Cru, matured in 20% new oak, was taken from tank on the lees, due to be racked right after my visit. This is perfumed and seductive: wild peach with orange blossom and light blackcurrant leaf aromas, quite Meursault-like. The palate is well balanced with a fine citrus edge: orange pith and fresh pear, a touch of stem ginger, composed and harmonious on the finish. Delicious.
