The finesse and elegance of this wine convey an irresistible impression of immediate pleasure. It starts off with a radiant, complex bouquet with a combination of notes of raspberries, red currants, cherries and strawberries with floral nuances. The dialogue continues in the mouth with the discovery of a red wine with a delicate, elegant structure and good underlying concentration. This is a well-balanced wine with supple tannins which wins one over with its never-ending length, which emphasizes the red fruit flavours.
Vintage conditions
Particularly cold weather at the beginning of winter, quite a dry spring and summer, then hot weather and storms at the end of August. The weather turned fine on September 10th and lasted until harvesting.
Harvest
Lovely dry weather, good for ripeness. It was an ideal harvest, which took place from September 16th to 22nd.
Yields were not very high, but the grapes had thick skins and their high levels of sugar showed that it was going to be a high-quality vintage.Location
The Clos de l'Arlot is unusual for being planted on the site of a former quarry, giving it the shape of an amphitheatre. Its name comes from the spring that rises at the bottom of the plot and flows into the Courtavaux a little lower down.
The Terroir
A complex terroir with microclimates and varied soils: marl with ostrea acuminata, Premeaux limestone and white oolite.
The two hectares of Clos de l'Arlot red are composed of two very distinct types of soil: at the top, white oolite on which young vines are planted; at the bottom, marl containing ostrea acuminata where some of the old vines are grown.Vinification
Traditional vinification: A manual harvest, minimal vatting, pumping over and punching down without excess to reveal the full finesse of this great terroir.
Only grapes from the oldest vines are included in the Clos de l'Arlot red cuvée. The wines from the young vines make up a blend with the Nuits Saint Georges Premier Cru label, Cuvée Mont des Oiseaux, a sensual, fruit-laden wine.Grape varieties
Pinot Noir 100%
Ageing
The wines are aged for 15 months in oak barrels, with a maximum of 45% new barrels, and 3 months in vats before bottling.
