An appealingly fresh nose blends both floral and white orchard fruit with those of subtle spice nuances. There is excellent richness to the concentrated yet precise medium-bodied flavors that possess a seductive mouth feel while exhibiting a hint of minerality on the softly citrus-inflected and well-balanced finish.
The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de l'Arlot Blanc was raised in 20% new oak. It has a well-defined bouquet with citrus lemon, Granny Smith apples and subtle tropical notes (peach and a hint of guava) joining the fray with time in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a lovely, harmonious, peach-tinged opening complemented by light apricot and fresh ginger notes. There is commendable concentration here, a fine bead of acidity with a precise finish. Excellent.
