Nuits-Saint-Georges Clos de l’Arlot Arlot 2011 is a Burgundy red wine from the Côte de Nuits. This wine uses Pinot Noir fruit sourced from a single walled vineyard defined by its clay-limestone soils. The 2011 vintage was characterised by a cool and rainy growing season in Burgundy, resulting in wines with balanced acidity and refined tannins. The wine offers aromas of red cherry, raspberry, subtle spice and forest floor, layered with delicate earthy notes. On the palate it is medium-bodied, refined and structured, with silky tannins, bright acidity and a long, harmonious finish.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Clos de l’Arlot 2011 has a masculine, tertiary, sous-bois dominated nose that feels a little sullen compared to its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and nicely judged acidity. Fleshy with strawberry and red cherries toward the tart finish, this has good vigor and poise and I suspect will age well. I love the substance here and it represents one of the better wines of these Nuits Saint Georges premier cru. - Neal Martin

Good dark red. Slightly jammy raspberry, chocolate and mocha on the nose, enlivened by mineral energy. Then silky and tangy on the palate, with a light herbal edge leavening the wine`s sweetness. Ripe but nicely fresh flavors of red berries, spices and pepper lead to a crisp finish. This was 12.1% natural alcohol chaptalized to 12.6%, according to winemaker Jacques Devauges, who noted that low alcohol in conjunction with good maturity of a wine`s other elements gives drinkability.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2014

Floral nose and lots of substance. Lots of acidity and no richness but no shortage of density. Good balance and structure; it just looks a bit expensive… (JR)
