Domaine de l'Arlot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru "Clos de l'Arlot" dry white 2015

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Neil Martin - déc. 2016) :89-91/100. The 2015 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Clos de l'Arlot Blanc, aged in 20% new oak, has a crisp, nectarine, white peach and pear-scented bouquet with very fine delineation and vigor. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry with a keen line of acidity, perhaps not quite as complex as the 2014 last year, but retaining very fine freshness and salinity all the way through to the finish. You could enjoy this from bottling, though I would prefer to wait a year or two before opening. Drink date 2018-2027.Leriche, who left the domaine after the 2011 harvest. Leriche was replaced by Jacques Devauges, whose previous experience includes time at Frederic Magnien and Domaine de la Vougeraie. As is the case throughout the region, 2010 is a vintage marked by the devastating December frost, an irregular flowering caused by poor weather and continuing bad weather throughout the summer. Yields were down 30-40% across the board. The wines, however, are stunning, and I urge readers to check them out. Drink date 2020-2030.
