Description

Overview & Provenance

The 2009 Domaine de l’Arlot Clos des Forêts Saint Georges is a rich, seductive red Burgundy from a celebrated warm vintage. Sourced entirely from the domaine’s 7.2-hectare biodynamic monopole in Nuits-Saint-Georges, this premier cru highlights deep limestone bedrock. As a result, it balances ripe fruit depth with refined mineral structure.

The 2009 growing season delivered abundant sunshine and optimal physiological ripeness across the Côte de Nuits. In addition, gentle whole-cluster vinification preserved fresh aromatic lift. Therefore, this bottle provides a lush, velvet texture while maintaining classic vineyard definition.

Tasting Profile & Sensory Character

Aromatics: First, warm aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry, and dark plum fill the glass. Soon after, notes of Asian spice, cocoa nib, and forest sous-bois develop with air.
Palate: In addition, the palate is plush and generous, supported by sweet, melting tannins. Rich dark fruit mingles with crushed stone and subtle licorice through a long, savory finish.

Service & Culinary Pairings

Serving Suggestions: First, serve at cellar temperature (58°F–62°F / 14°C–17°C) in wide Burgundy stems. Next, decant for 30 minutes to allow the layers of spice to unfold.

Recommended Pairings: Because of its ripe fruit and velvety tannins, this vintage matches rich poultry and meats:

Roasted duck breast with cherry or balsamic glaze
Herb-crusted rack of lamb with roasted baby root vegetables
Braised veal shank or beef short ribs
Aged Comté and mild washed-rind cheeses

Collector Notes & Cellar Potential
