Côte de Nuits 2021: New Releases

Clos de l'Arlot is the historic flagship monopole vineyard of the domaine, and Lay & Wheeler is delighted to have an allocation for the first time in 2021. It is efined and delicate, with classic and pure Pinot red fruit, supple tannins, and a long elegant finish.

The domaine purchased this plot of Vosne premier cru in the 1990s, and since then has been making this superb cuvée. An elegant bouquet of ripe wild strawberry and plum notes announce this Suchots arrival. The palate is agile and fresh, with silky, supple tannins. It has a long, fine mineral finish. Impressive.

This monopole vineyard spans over seven hectares of limestone hillside, accounting for almost half the domaine’s production. It has elegant and enticing red fruit on the nose, ripe though not rich. The tannins in this wine are supple and soft. This has astonishing depth, alongside haunting purity on the palate, a melange of wild strawberries, cherries, red plum with a finish that goes on forever. Such perfect balance in this fine, fine wine.
