Clos des Forets Saint-Georges is a monopole: 7.2 hectares belonging entirely to Domaine de l'Arlot, which means every bottle of it on earth comes from this one walled vineyard. The site climbs, and the limestone shifts as it rises, which is why the wine pulls off both the muscle Nuits-Saint-Georges is known for and the floral, perfumed lift that is pure Arlot. Farming is biodynamic, picking is by hand, and fermentation starts on its own. Expect red and black fruit wrapped around graphite and white pepper, with real structure underneath. Serious Burgundy from a domaine on a serious run -- give it a few years.
