2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Mont des Oiseaux, Domaine de l'Arlot
Dry | Red | Still | 13.5%
This cuvée first appeared in 2015. It is made from the young(er) vines of the Clos de l’Arlot that had once been labelled ‘Petit Arlot’. It consistently proves its worth as a separate bottling with every new vintage: this is sweet and precise on the nose, with bursting redcurrants, violets, and graphite. The palate shows a wonderfully classical freshness, and some attractive, firm tannins that are expertly married to the red berry volume, making it ready for drinking in just a few years, I expect.
Ready: 2022 - 2031
