Domaine de L'ARLOT
Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er cru red

Owned by AXA Millésimes since 1987, Domaine de l'Arlot spans 15 hectares between Nuits-Saint-Georges (Prémeaux) and Vosne-Romanée. This is an estate of excellence, producing some of the most intense, precise whites on the Côte de Nuits, as well as dense reds with chiselled structures that are simultaneously fleshy and delicate. Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.

The 2022 vintage is rated 93-95/100 by N. Martin "The Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru 2022, aged in 40% new oak, is intense on the nose, opulent but controlled with scents mainly of red fruits, allspice and rose petals, just a hint of black olive emerging with time. Very well defined. The medium-bodied palate is armed with a voluptuous, almost viscous entry, intense but delineated with progressive construction to its soft, detailed finish. It will take four to five years to open its doors, but this is certainly a 'serious' Les Suchots with a wonderful spicy edge." (November 2023)
