The 2022 Clos de l’Arlot Blanc is a beautifully vibrant and finely sculpted white Burgundy, reflecting the warmth of the vintage through the domaine’s signature precision. Aromas of lemon zest, white peach, pear skin, and acacia blossom rise with clarity, framed by notes of crushed limestone, subtle spice, and a delicate saline edge. On the palate, the wine is taut yet silky, offering a graceful interplay of ripe orchard fruit and bright, energetic acidity supported by a focused mineral backbone. Layers of citrus, stone fruit, and gentle toasted nuances unfold with poise, leading into a long, clean, and resonant finish marked by chalky purity. The 2022 Clos de l’Arlot Blanc is a standout—elegant, expressive, and beautifully balanced—showcasing one of Burgundy’s most unique terroirs with crystalline finesse.
Domaine de l'Arlot Description
Domaine de l’Arlot is one of the most distinctive estates in the Côte de Nuits, known for its biodynamic farming, meticulous craft, and refined, terroir-driven style. Based in Premeaux-Prissey, just south of Nuits-Saint-Georges, the domaine is unique for its mastery of both red and white wines—particularly rare whites from traditionally red-soil terroirs. Clos de l’Arlot, the estate’s flagship monopole, is a walled Premier Cru vineyard with limestone-rich soils, cool airflow, and an intimate microclimate that yields Chardonnay of remarkable delicacy, lift, and mineral purity. The domaine’s philosophy emphasizes gentle extraction, restrained oak, and long, nuanced élevage, resulting in wines that consistently show clarity, finesse, and a serene, almost weightless elegance.
