Domaine de L`Arlot Nuits-St-Georges Clos des Fôrets St-Georges 2020 is a 1er Cru Burgundy vineyard from the monopole of Le Clos des Fôrets St-George in the Côte de Nuits. Clos des Fôrets St-Georges is produced from the oldest vines within this monopole vineyard and is typically a dark-fruited and intense wine which reveals its true potential after several years of bottle age. The 2020 is fermented with around 50% whole bunches. Ageing is for 15 months in 50% new oak, followed by three months` resting in tank before bottling. "Markedly earthy aromas include notes of garrigue, poached plum, cassis and a smoky component. The rich, energetic and well-detailed larger-scaled flavours evidence solid muscle and power on the moderately rustic, balanced and complex finale. This beautifully long effort is a classic Nuits in style. Outstanding!" Burghound, 2022

Vinous
The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Fôrets Saint Georges 1er Cru has a slightly more savory nose with hints of dried blood interwoven into the black and blue fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with relatively dry tannins, missing its peers' tension and fruit purity. It is structured but maybe a little over-extracted in the winery. Again, it needs more Pinoté. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. Neal Martin30th October 2024
