"The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de l'Arlot Blanc 1er Cru is well defined on the nose, although it does not quite possess the mineralité that I found on the ‘19 last year. The palate is well balanced with good weight, quite pithy and lightly spiced, touches of lime and Conference pear towards the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle." Vinous 89-91p
"Here too there is a subtle application of wood framing the vaguely exotic aromas of lemon, apple and straw. The delicious and plump, even caressing, flavors retain very good punch on the mineral-driven, intense and citrusy finish that is exceptionally dry, indeed to the point that this is currently mildly austere." Burghound 88-91p
"Exhibiting notes of pear, green apple, toasted hazelnuts, fresh pastry and white flowers, the 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de l'Arlot Blanc is medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with a rich but vibrant profile. It was bottled under Diam 10. Géraldine Godot told me that all Domaine de l'Arlot's wines in the 2020 vintage came in above 14% alcohol and that she retained appreciable percentages of stems in this vintage. Harvest began on August 25. Tasted from preprepared samples, these were rich, powerful wines that are more muscular in style than the domaine's 2019s." Wine Advocate 90p
"One plot was picked on 19thAugust, the rest after the reds. Racked to tank, fined, to bottle before Christmas. Mid lemon yellow, a more complex nose than Gerbotte and this is better balanced, without the feeling of heat, indeed a delicious stony quality along with ripe fruit notes, some plums, but this is harmonious, long and very appealing. Tasted: December 2021." Jasper Morris
