Domaine de l'Arlot, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, Clos des Forets Saint-Georges

Glorious, round and earthy. Drinking great at this young age.

2022 vintage

Past in prime for sure now and in decline. Thinning out quite a bit and fruit is very prune like.

1998 vintage

Deeply pitched, with dark cherry fruit, rusty nails and blood. Rich and velvety through the palate. Quite fleshy and ample tannins lurking. Violets with air on the nose. The finish is chewy and powerful and there's a suggestion of bitter chocolate to the long finish.

2022 vintage

I wouldn’t kick this bottle of wine out of bed for eating crackers. What a wonderful aromatic and floral nuance wine. This was a crowd pleaser with a couple of hours in the decanter. Fortunately, the crowd was only three people deep, so it was enjoyed immensely. Give it 7-10 years for a starting point.

2022 vintage

Spice, stems. Good balance and enjoyable. Good life ahead. Opened 1 hour before serving and this helped.

Domaine de L'Arlot @DIG SF with Geraldine Godot : This vintage brings a riper, more exotic side to the Clos des Forêts. Versus the '23 tasted earlier in the session, this is more boisterously fruited and powerfully structured, but also less aromatic and elegant. I prefer the '23 here.

2022 vintage

Domaine de l’Arlot 2022/2023s. They produced beautiful, pure, red-fruit driven wines in both vintages. While the 2022 might have a touch more substance, it is slightly riper too. Both vintages have very good acidities keeping the wines fresh and airy. Great quality/price ratio, especially the Clos des Forets. TN: Fine, delicate nose of dark red and brighter red fruit. The palate is superb, with pure red berries, stems, and earthy minerality. Vibrant, fresh, and substantial. Will benefit from 5-10 years …

Wow ! All said..

2022 vintage

In magnum format. Beautiful wine, very harmonious. Some nice territory fruit flavors that tilt slightly towards stewed fruits. Slightly tightly wound at first and opened up in glass. Not sure how many more years this has ahead but feels like should be enjoyed now.

1998 vintage

Medium ruby with some purple. Slightly opaque. Start with some musky perfume. Reticent oak. Scents of crushed rock, rose potpourri, leather, sweet tobacco and anise. Black and red cherry fruit with a hint of plushness. Good acidity. Midpalate has almost tangy meaty savoriness that leads a very long floral finish (with earthy note emerging). Medium body, high acidity, texture with velvetu tannin and minerality. Wow! This is a compact-bodied wine that delivers a dynamite of drinking pleasure. This wine delivers …

Côte de Nuits Classics (K&L Wine Merchant - San Francisco) : Nose: Scents of dark fruits while strolling through a forest, while getting additional aromas of damp earth and underbrush. Fruits are there but not generous, but it’s still there. Palate: Dark fruits from the nose are reflected here on the palate, a really dialed down savoriness, with subtly bitter black minerals on the finish. The fruits pulses a few more times on the finish, letting you know it’s not …

2022 vintage

A Handful of 2022 Red Burgundies (K&L Wines, San Francisco) : Ruby. Menthol aroma. Medium weight, nicely sappy. Black fruit with a touch of ripeness, herb, gentle wood and soil. Good flow with a round attack backed by a more locked up tannic finish.

2022 vintage

Intense, earthy nose suffused with sous bois. Dark red fruit on the palate with a strong streak of minerality and ample acidity. Right now, it's very approachable, with silky tannins and a touch of spice on the long, lingering finish.

2022 vintage

My continued quest to try as many 2022 Burgundies as possible. So, after my first sip, I stopped & went to grab one of these and got the last floor bottle. This is my red burgundy wheelhouse. The nose is somewhat subtle at this stage. But is dark, somewhat big and definitely brooding. Slightly candied darker fruits with beautiful dark, fresh & withering florals framed in violets. The palate shows beautiful, near perfect ripe fruits of; dark cherries, plum, poached …

2022 vintage

nose - toasty, there is some oak here mouth - good richness with a sappy and smooth mouthfeel. perhaps too oaky for my taste as it renders it a bit generic but its afterall its still a baby.

2022 vintage

Visit to the domaine. An energetic wine which according to the domaine is more typical of Nuit St-Georges. Concentrated and ripe cherry fruit, moderately darker in style. Smoky minerality, green, grassy herbs and dark floral nots adding verticality. Pure and fresh palate, but with fully ripe fruit and plenty of fresh acids. Slightly more grainy tannin.

2022 vintage

One of the last vintages of Jeremy Seysses’ run as head winemaker at Domaine de L’Arlot, I spotted this birth year bottle on the wine list at Noble Rot in Mayfair and decided to give it a go. Slow oxidised for about an hour while we finished enjoying a 2006 Blain-Gagnard Bâtard-Montrachet, this was right in its zone once we got to enjoying it. Showing off some quintessential Nuits-Saint-Georges character across perfect maturity, this is a look at a very …

1998 vintage

CL belated birthday drinks. 3 sparklings and 3 sexy Reds. Drank in Conterno Sensory. Popped and poured. Superb wine. Nose of the year. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, garnet colour. Legs. Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of superbly aromatic soaring aged Burgundy nose that makes you feel emotional, sexy undergrowth funk, chocolatey caked earth, dried red cherries. Developed. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), resolved low tannins, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of integrated residual …

1998 vintage

During the Grands Jour de Bourgogne walkabout tasting. The l'Arlot wines showed very well. I like their style, light bodied, highly aromatic with a good dose of sweet oak spice (but not too much) intermixed with a farmyard funk and red fruit aroma mix.

2022 vintage

Have had this twice recently. Resolved, a bit rustic, classic NSG. A very good 98 that has held up well and in its peak drinking zone. Earth, spice, minerals, dark fruit and plenty of acidity. Not fading at all but no reason to wait here.

1998 vintage

Light to medium body. Robe still vibrant with very slight browning on rim. Beautiful vivid strawberry fruit on nose and palate in perfect balance with nice depth. Decanted in bottle for about an hour during which it evolved nicely. This outshined a 2002 Clos des Lambrays opened on same night. Very strong showing and in a beautiful spot.

1998 vintage

Howard Ripley Burgundy 2022 EP tasting (RSC, Burlington House) : Deep purple and lovely, surprisingly giving bouquet. Elegant and plush but not without supporting acidity.

2022 vintage

A bit more structure compared to the Clos d’Arlot tasted before. Generous fruit, good acidity, nice tannic structure. Pretty seamless and complete, fine length. 93-94+

2022 vintage

Drank from magnum. Beautifully smooth and balanced. Tannins fully resolved but still has a little structure.

1998 vintage

Double decant and drank through the course of a long dinner. Nice secondary and tertiary flavors with strawberry notes. Stemmy though. Very noticeable stem character, which leads to a drying stemmy tannic finish.

1998 vintage

1998 Burgundy (Noizé, London) : Fuller, with darker, richer fruit on the nose. Fuller on the palate too. A touch of grip. Finely velvet cf the Fourrier’s silk, retains a good line though, and finishes well. Just a touch of structure. ****

1998 vintage

Lovely bright, crunchy strawberries. Spicy and some nice bite from the classic 98 acidity. Softened and became quite lush with air. Absolutely at its peak and just lovely.

1998 vintage

1998 Burgundy horizontal (Noize) : An interesting, grown-up wine, this. At first it felt almost completely tertiary, all smoke and undergrowth, with a green streak running through it, but with air there developed notes of strawberry candy and orange blossom, and the muddy undergrowth smartened itself up into musky, cedary moss - it smelled great! Tangy on the slightly tannic finish.

1998 vintage

Beautiful showing. Rich fruit, tertiary flavors and wonderful balance and finish.

1998 vintage

The profile of a nice aged burgundy, with fruit still strong but everything smoother and more subtle. Nice balance and complexity into the finish.

1998 vintage

Excellent nose, crackling red and black cherry scented with great stems and a pronounced smoke. I thought the stem regiment here was only 20% or so but this smells bombastically whole clustered and amazing. Bright red fruit too, plenty of energy. Highly expressive and flashy nose, smoke, tobacco, spice. Palate mostly matches up but is in the higher acid side without the depth of fruit. Gaining weight. Strawberry. Fairly gassy off a fresh pour, didn’t decant. A firm 92, definitely …

1998 vintage

Strawberry, raspberry, touch of spice, minerals, delish. Those are my notes from 2 weeks ago. Tasted much younger than it's age! Really tasty and drinking excellently now. Your best burg tasting Ty's.

1998 vintage

Burgundy WIMPS (La Trompette, Chiswick) : Medium/deep garnet. Dark fruity - plum, blackberry, slight herbal note. Medium bodied, quite rich and earthy with dark fruit, attractive herbal edge, good length grippy finish. Excellent ****.

1998 vintage

Medium garnet core, pale garnet rim. Nose is distinctly subdued, with smoky, reduced sulphury aromas, underlying stewed red fruit. Similar on the palate, which is somewhat structureless and lacking depth and length of finish. Something not quite right here - which is a shame as I was looking forward to this.

1998 vintage

Medium-dark red color with full transparency. Aromas of cherry, strawberry, sous bois, and fennel. Palate shows warm strawberry, cherry, a hint of mineral, some meaty/mushroomy sous bois notes. Drinking in a nice window of maturity for my tastes; very much aligned in the flavor profile with the 2000, but with the added bottle time, showing that much more maturity. Tasty. Drink or hold.

1998 vintage

Dark smoky strawberry red with medium transparency. Dark cherry and sous bois flavors with some blackberry backdrop and some black truffle and mushroom elements starting to emerge. More masculine than the Clos de L'Arlot, which shows more strawberry notes. Drinking well. Drink or hold.

1998 vintage

high toned red fruit - red current and cranberry, brambly and of dried leaves and earth, a definite gamy note underneath it all. not a beautiful wine, but compelling in its absolute correctness, its transparency.

1998 vintage

Dark red wit smoky tints. Cherry, herb, tobacco nose. Palate of strawberry, ripe cherry, spice, dried herbs, a bit of mushroom, and a long finish that gets progressively more tannic. Seems to be in good balance right now and has enough stuffing to balance out the structure. Drink or hold.

1998 vintage

Black cherry, char, lead pencil, More red fruit on the palate, vanilla, ... dusty tannins, mildly acidiic (less than I remember from the last bottle which was firm as nails). A somewhat drying finish. While this is a nice wine, it's a bit oaked, somewhat simple, and not worthy of it's pedigree/vineyard.

1998 vintage

What a great thing to find a wine like this being poured by the glass. Deep, youthful color, but this is where my admiration ended. An exaggerated nose of high char wood just obliterated everything else in the wine. Close your eyes and you would think you were gathered around the bonfire. A shame since it clearly had some nice, rather delicate red/black fruit and good acidity underneath the clumsily applied makeup. Aargh, talk about an overwhelming winemaking signature.

1998 vintage

Deep smoky red color. Strawberry, cherry, cinammon, tart cranberry, tea, and smoke on the nose. On the palate, tart cherry and cranberry dominate with tea and spice framing nicely. The finish is long and acidic with fruit tannins dominating at the end. If the tannins can resolve, this will be a winner. For now, pleasant enough, but not wholly integrated nor balanced.

1998 vintage

Pale/medium garnet core, pale garnet rim. Spicy, ripe, dark cherry nose, hints of licquorice and earth. Similar black cherry fruit on the palate, spice, balanced acidity. Masculine, with iron notes and some firm tannins on a decent length finish. Has certainly opened out, but should continue to improve.

1998 vintage

I'm a long time fan of L'Arlot- this was the first '98 I've opened in a while as they seemed to have been shut down- color is transparent ruby. The nose is a mixture of cola, cherries and some sois bois- The palate is a touch acidic, with a fair amount of tannin framing dusty cherry notes. probably opened a year or two too early.

1998 vintage

Pale/medium garnet core, medium mahogany rim. Medium intense red cherry fruit, spice and some damp earth, perhaps slightly closed. On the palate this has medium + acidity with medium firm tannins. A medium bodied wine with reasonably good depth on the palate - ripe raspberry fruit with spice and earth emerging on a good length, well balanced finish. A very good wine, this will probably improve/open out over the next couple of years and continue to drink for a further …
