Understanding Domaine de l'Arlot, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Gerbotte, Burgundy
Domaine d'Arlot implements biodynamic and organic viticulture, ensuring the vitality and sustainability of their vineyards. The Gerbotte Blanc benefits from the distinctive terroir of Nuits Saint Georges, where varied soil compositions and microclimates contribute to the wine's unique profile. Through restrained winemaking techniques, the domaine captures the essence of the Chardonnay grape and the vineyard. Following harvest in the morning when it’s the coolest, the grapes undergo a gentle pressing before fermentation in oak for 12 months, a portion of which is new. This careful ageing process enriches the wine's complexity and depth. Nuits Saint Georges Gerbotte Blanc displays crisp orchard fruit and citrus, subtle floral notes and a flinty minerality in a rich and harmonious palate with balancing acidity. This wine promises graceful ageing.
