Nuits-St.-Georges Premier Cru Clos de l'Arlot Monopole 2017
The 2017 Nuits-St.-Georges Premier Cru Clos de l'Arlot Monopole is a fine wine produced by Domaine De l'Arlot in Burgundy. The Pinot Noir grapes come from the oldest vines of the Monopole Clos de l'Arnot vineyard, which encompasses an area of just 2 hectares in a complex terroir with varied microclimates and soils: marl with sharp ostrea, Premeaux limestone and white oolite. . Moreover, monopole means that that vineyard is the absolute property of the domaine. Bright and intense ruby red in color, this wine gives the nose a bouquet that needs some time to open up: dark fruits, spices and mentholated notes. The structured and powerful sip, endowed with a firm tannin, makes us understand the great aging potential of this wine, which, despite being elegant now, will be able to transform and to make the most of its harmony with aging.
