Description

Overview & Provenance

The 2012 Domaine de l’Arlot Clos des Forêts Saint Georges is a concentrated, elegant Burgundy from an exceptional vintage. Sourced entirely from the domaine’s biodynamic monopole parcel, this wine highlights deep limestone bedrock. As a result, it balances rich fruit texture with structured freshness.

Low yields in 2012 produced small grapes packed with rich flavor and ripe tannins. In addition, gentle whole-cluster vinification preserved aromatic lift. Therefore, this bottle stands as one of the standout vintages of the decade for this historic site.

Tasting Profile & Sensory Character

Aromatics: First, dark cherry, ripe plum, and violet flowers fill the glass. Soon after, hints of warming spice, leather, and forest earth add rich complexity.
Palate: In addition, the palate is plush and velvety with ripe, melting tannins. Flavors of red currant, licorice, and chalky minerality lead to a harmonious, lingering finish.

Service & Culinary Pairings

Serving Suggestions: First, pour at cellar temperature (58°F–62°F / 14°C–17°C). Next, decant for 30 minutes before enjoying.

Recommended Pairings: Because of its concentrated fruit and smooth tannins, this vintage matches hearty poultry and red meats:

Roast goose or duck breast with cherry reduction
Pan-roasted rack of lamb with herbs
Braised pork tenderloin with mushroom ragout
Mild washed-rind cheeses like Époisses

Collector Notes & Cellar Potential

The 2012 vintage is in a prime drinking window today. Thanks to its low-yield concentration and solid structure, this bottle will cellar easily through 2035.
