2019 Domaine de L'Arlot Cuvee Mont des Oiseaux. Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru

Product description

2 kilometres to the south of Nuits Saint Georges, at Premeaux-Prissey, the Domaine de l'Arlot is a classic example of an ancient Côte de Nuits Burgundian property.

Mont des Oiseaux is a cuvée produced in small quantities from Clos de l'Arlot's youngest vines, an estate Monopoly.  It comes from the upper part of the Clos with a white limestone soil, and from a plot of young vines located at the bottom of the Clos on marl soil.  

The nose offers delicate notes of fresh fruits such as redcurrants, blueberries, lychees, cradled by timid milky and floral notes. The palate is balanced by its silky tannins and mineral quality. A mouth-watering wine that expresses all its complexity.    It has great cellaring potential, but can also pair right now with fish, duck, and fruit-based desserts.
