Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru - Clos des Forets Saint-Georges Monopole - Domaine de L'Arlot… 2024 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

The Clos des Forêts Saint-Georges, a vast 7.2-hectare monopole wholly owned by Domaine de l’Arlot, is situated on the southern slope of Nuits-Saint-Georges, on limestone soils rich in marl and pebbles. This exceptional terroir, cultivated using biodynamic methods, produces a wine of rare depth, where the power of the cru blends with an ethereal elegance. This vintage, characterised by fine ripeness and restrained freshness, yields a Clos des Forêts of remarkable purity. The nose opens with aromas of ripe black fruits (cherry, blackberry), peony, woodland undergrowth and sweet spices, underscored by a mineral note and a hint of liquorice. On the palate, the wine impresses with its balance between power and fluidity: the body is full, the tannins fine and polished, and the texture velvety smooth. The long, energetic finish reveals a vibrant minerality and a briny depth that are the hallmarks of the great terroirs of Nuits. It is a complete, noble wine that combines structure, precision and sensuality — a model of balance and grace. Whilst it already charms with its vibrant fruit, it will reach its full potential after 10 to 20 years of ageing. At the table, it will perfectly complement roast pigeon, a fillet of beef, truffle risotto or fine game.
