Nuits St. Georges 1er 'Clos de L'Arlot'

Score

92-94

"The 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de l'Arlot is showing well, even at this early stage, opening in the glass with aromas of cherries, licorice, sweet spices and subtle soil tones. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, velvety and supple, with lively balancing acids and promising back-end grip."

"The painterly, steep-sloped Clos de l'Arlot is planted with vines that have an average age of more than 50 years and is always among the best and most harmonious wines of Nuits-St-Georges. Deeply coloured and concentrated, with scented 45% new wood, savoury red fruit flavours, nuanced tannins and a precise, well-balanced finish. Classy stuff."
