About the Wine:
This wine is recognizable by its golden, brilliant and clear colour. The pleasure starts with the very fine nose which evokes white flowers and exotic fruit, honey and vanilla. It carries on in the mouth where one discovers a full, generous wine whose roundness, suppleness and freshness express the very notion of harmony. It concludes on a mineral note which sharpens its complexity.
Tasting Note:
Pale yellow color. A bouquet of great finesse with subtle apricot and white peach scents.
The wine reveals its complexity on the palate: expressive, fleshy, delicate, fine and tannic. The finish lingers on nicely. This is a rich, smooth wine.

89-91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"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." - Neal Martin (30th Dec 2016)
