FEATURES
The 2017 Domaine de l'Arlot Nuits Saint Georges Clos de l'Arlot Blanc 1er Cru hails from a vintage marked by warm, relatively dry weather in August, which greatly aided veraison and ripening. This white Burgundy is celebrated for its well-defined bouquet and crisp, taut acidity, making it a truly classy offering.
On the nose, expect a complex array of orange pith, yellow flowers, wild nettles, and patisserie, evolving into notes reminiscent of top-class white Bordeaux with a delicious, incipient waxiness. Further exploration reveals powerful aromas of Meyer lemon, ripe pear, pineapple, peach, baked apple, honey, buttered warm scone, vanilla, roasted nuts, and biscuits, all underpinned by significant minerality and white flowers. The palate is rich and concentrated yet perfectly balanced with acidity, offering sweet lemon, pomelo, pineapple, ripe peach, and a nice salty finish. It's round and generous, harmoniously blending citrus and minerality, leading to a long, lingering finish.
🍴 Food pairing suggestions include roasted chicken or turkey, and creamy seafood dishes. Its richness and acidity also make it a good match for richer fish like halibut or cod.
🥂 This wine is in a great shape right now and can be enjoyed without rush. It's an excellent choice for a sophisticated dinner party or a special occasion where a top-tier white Burgundy is desired. 【Critics have scored this as one of the top 5 Nuits-Saint-Georges Clos Arlot wines】.
