WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine de l'Arlot Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Clos de L'Arlot Blanc is a distinguished Chardonnay from the renowned Burgundy region. This exceptional wine is crafted from grapes grown on the steep, stony slopes of the Clos de l'Arlot vineyard, where all vineyard work, from plowing to treatment, is performed meticulously by hand due to the challenging terrain. Embracing traditional winemaking techniques, the fermentation process occurs at low temperatures to preserve the fruit's natural aromas and flavors, showcasing the elegance of high-quality Chardonnay.

This meticulous process results in a wine that is both complex and refined, with vibrant fruit notes and a subtle oak influence, epitomizing the excellence of Premier Cru Burgundy.
