Domaine de l'Arlot - Hautes Côtes de Nuits Le Mont 2018
Domaine de l'Arlot is located on the Côte de Nuits, just south of Nuits-Saint-Georges in Burgundy. The estate has vines in several prestigious vineyards, including two Premier Cru vineyards; the Clos de Forêts Saint-Georges and Clos de l'Arlot monopoly. The Arlot vineyard was created in the 18th century when the owner of the property built the closed wall. It was later enlarged by wine merchant Jules Belin after his takeover in 1891. Its modern incarnation stems from the sale of the property by the heirs of Belin to the French investment company AXA Millésimes, which also owns several other wineries. AXA has further extended the holdings of Domaine de l'Arlot with plots of the Premier Cru Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots and Grand Cru Romanée Saint-Vivant vineyards. Agricultural practices have been organic since 2000 andbiodynamic since 2003.
Le Mont is a cuvée produced in the Hautes Côtes de Nuits appellation, located on the heights of the village of Premeaux-Prissey on a 1 hectare plot of land in one piece, just above Clos des Fôrets Saint Georges. The vines are co-planted and the Pinot Noir covers an area of 0.33 hectares. The vine was planted in 2007 and is therefore relatively young. Aging lasts 12 months, with 20 to 25% new oak.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
