The description below comes from the retailer. Bottle details and price comparisons are listed above.

Situated in the commune of Comblanchien, to the south of the Côte de Nuits, the Clos du Chapeau is a monopole plot belonging to the Domaine de l’Arlot, classified as a Côte de Nuits-Villages. Surrounded by low walls, this vineyard benefits from a bright, well-drained limestone terroir, offering the Pinot Noir an ideal environment in which to express its full purity and precision. This excellent vintage, balanced and harmonious, showcases the full personality of this cru: a subtle, silky wine bursting with freshness. The brilliant ruby colour heralds an expressive nose of fresh cherry, redcurrant and peony, enhanced by a hint of sweet spices and damp stone. On the palate, the structure is fine and slender, supported by perfectly integrated acidity and delicately mellow tannins. The overall impression is of a juicy, balanced and precise palate, which captivates with its sincerity and purity of expression. Le Clos du Chapeau perfectly illustrates the estate’s philosophy: elegance over power, depth within lightness. The ageing process, measured and respectful of the fruit, provides just the right amount of structure and complexity to complement the wine’s finesse. Accessible even in its youth thanks to its luminous fruit and crystalline energy, this wine can also be cellared for 5 to 8 years to develop further nuances and texture. It pairs perfectly with duck breast, roast poultry, mushroom risotto or refined vegetarian dishes.
