91-93 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Lemon with a lime tint, showing a touch of reduction which blows off immediately. Whites from both sides. More character here from the nose onwards, builds several layers, clearly merits its 1er cru status. The 2019 volume of fruit but with an engaging energy. Layers of flavour here, enough acidity, well done. (Oct 2020)"
91-93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de l'Arlot Blanc 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet showing white flower/dandelion, Golden Delicious apple and light honeysuckle aromas that gently unfold in the glass. The palate is well balanced and displays the waxy texture that I found on the domaine’s other whites this year. There is a touch of textural creaminess, and suggestions of stem ginger toward a finish not far removed from a Corton-Charlemagne. Drink: 2023-2035. (Dec 2020)"
The vines of Clos de l'Arlot sprawl across rocky, rugged soils and grow upon extremely steep hillsides making harvest and care a painstaking task. The exposure promotes ideal ripeness without causing any imbalance to the grapes, as this bottling takes on a beautiful combination of firmness and opulence that represents Burgundy to a T.
