The Domaine de l’Arlot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Clos de l’Arlot” Blanc 2022 is a rare and captivating expression of white Burgundy from the Côte de Nuits, an area predominantly known for its red wines. This monopole vineyard, entirely owned by Domaine de l’Arlot, sits in a Premier Cru site in Nuits-Saint-Georges, where limestone-rich soils and meticulous biodynamic viticulture create a singular Chardonnay of elegance and complexity. The warm 2022 vintage imbues this cuvée with a remarkable balance of ripeness, vibrant acidity, and terroir-driven precision.

On the nose, this wine offers a refined bouquet of citrus zest, green apple, and white peach, intertwined with floral hints of acacia and subtle undertones of hazelnut and wet stone. As it evolves, delicate notes of brioche and almond emerge, reflecting its time in oak. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and textured, with a lively acidity that lends freshness and lift. The mineral backbone, a hallmark of the site, provides structure and a persistent, saline-driven finish.

This wine is a versatile pairing for dishes such as seared scallops, roast chicken with a lemon butter sauce, or creamy mushroom pasta. While approachable now for its vibrant fruit and energy, the Domaine de l’Arlot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Clos de l’Arlot” Blanc 2022 will reward careful cellaring over the next 8–10 years, gaining additional layers of complexity and depth. It is a unique and compelling representation of white Burgundy from the Côte de Nuits, showcasing the craftsmanship and innovation of Domaine de l’Arlot.
