"The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Blanc Clos de l'Arlot 1er Cru was taken from tank on the lees before filtration and fining. Aged in 25% new oak, it offers pretty apple blossom, gooseberry and persimmon scents that gradually unfold, though never completely let loose. The palate is well-balanced, with noticeable weight and heft on the entry. This is a concentrated white Burgundy, yet Géraldine Godot manages to retain sufficient tension and poise, elongating the finish. Apparently, this bottle had opened up considerably since being uncorked the previous day. Touch of ginger on the aftertaste. Punchy!" Vinous 91-93p
"This cuvée now covers all the plots, as La Gerbotte is included in Arlot, given that the vines are now 30 year old after all. Racked to tank but neither fined nor filtered yet. 25% new wood just features lightly on the nose, rather more evident on the palate. There is adequate concentration of white fruit, with a saline apple finish. The oak needs to calm down, as I am sure it will. Drink from 2027-2031." Jasper Morris 89-92p
