The most structured and muscular of Domaine de l’Arlot’s premiers crus, the 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos des Forêts St Georges wafts from the glass with aromas of cassis, plums, dark berries, raw cocoa and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a youthfully chalky finish, this is an elegantly muscular wine built to age.Robert Parker Wine Advocate | 93-95 RPThe 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Forêts Saint Georges 1er Cru comprises 30% whole bunch and 35% new oak. It has the best bouquet from the domaine this year, delivering gorgeous red fruits laced with violet that burst from the glass, quite Vosne-like in style. The palate is succulent but structured on the entry, presenting a perfect line of acidity, while beautifully integrated oak lends a seamless texture. Very persistent and satiny on the finish. An outstanding wine for the vintage.Vinous Media | 93-95 VMGreat balance again here, with power and weight on the palate, a dark-fruited style and lovely purity. Dark cherry and blackberry leaf on the nose. Needs plenty of time to settle down but should develop very well for the long haul. The harvest started on 12 September, finishing on the 17th. Drinking Window 2024 - 2035.Decanter | 94 DEC
