Domaine de l'Arlot Côtes de Nuits Villages "Au Leurey" white 2024

Technical sheet written by the domaine: 

THE VINTAGE: After a mild and rainy winter, the spring warmth encourages an early resumption of the vegetative cycle. In April, temperatures hover around seasonal norms, but the last decade is particularly cool. Flowering slowly begins around June 10. Despite cool and humid conditions causing some grape loss, the remaining grapes are well-aerated, a major advantage in limiting the risk of disease spread due to better air circulation. Temperature variations continue until harvest. The warm and relatively dry weather that settles in August improves the situation and provides good conditions for veraison and ripening.

HARVEST : The optimal start date for harvesting was determined at the last moment. A compromise had to be made between the ripeness that was delayed in certain plots and the health status that could deteriorate with the forecasted weather.
Harvesting began on September 18 under pleasant weather and concluded on September 21.

LOCATION
The terroirs are worthy of the Côte de Nuits-Villages appellation, established in 1964, from Brochon and Fixin in the North, to Corgoloin in the south, marking the boundary between the vineyards of Côte de Nuits and those of Côte de Beaune.

TERROIR
Located facing Clos de l'Arlot, this 0.24ha plot of Côte de Nuits-Villages Au Leurey has an atypical north/west exposure. It was replanted with Chardonnay in 2006 with a fine selection of vines that seem to acclimate very well to these clay-limestone soils.

TASTING
The presence of muscat Chardonnay offers us a delightful bouquet of orange zest and clementine on the nose. The finely
balanced palate reveals a seductive texture with notes of spices and candied ginger on the finish. Géraldine Godot, Technical Director (April 2026)

GOURMET PAIRINGS
This wine pairs perfectly with parsley ham, terrines, snails, or grilled fish. Goat cheeses, Comté, Beaufort, and the Gruyère family will also reveal its qualities.
