Each of these soils are now managed, harvested and vinified separately by Géraldine Godot. Historically, this vineyard has produced the most structured and profound red in the l'Arlot stable, the wine that is the most Nuits, if you like. However, in recent years Godot, by managing each parcel separately and by thinking deeply about the terroi, has managed to find a much more “Premeux” or “L’Arlot” expression of Forets. The 2023 is very much in this latter mould. It was made from 100% destemmed fruit, fermented spontaneously and aged 16 months in French oak (40% new). The finesse and precision is impressive, as is the seductive flesh. Yes, it’s deeper and more obviously structured than Clos de l'Arlot, yet it has the same superb balance and class. “Spice- and earth-driven with a lovely restrained edge, giving aromas of cherries, bark, blood oranges, charcuterie, dried rose petals and graphite. The palate is chewy and tactile, with firmly framed tannins and focused acidity, finishing with a mineral undertone. There is a lot of complexity and character to come with more time in the bottle.”\u003cstrong\u003e 97 points, jamessuckling.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Biodynamic \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVegan Friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine de l'Arlot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45264717840407,"sku":null,"price":445.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/5756\/6999\/files\/unnamed-42_c92fc4bb-e0b7-49f5-8b30-3f78dd7ac3da.png?v=1783150320","url":"https:\/\/winepresswine.com.au\/products\/domaine-de-larlot-nuits-saint-georges-1er-cru-clos-des-forets-saint-georges-2023","provider":"Winepress Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
