A white from the Côte de Nuits with a twist: part of this quarter-hectare plot is planted to Chardonnay muscaté, an aromatic strain of Chardonnay that Géraldine Godot credits with the wine's orange-zest and clementine lift. Au Leurey sits directly across from the Clos de l'Arlot. It faces north and west, which is unusual here, and the domaine replanted it in 2006 with carefully chosen grafted Chardonnay on silty soils over limestone scree. The 2024 got a light touch. Whole bunches went straight to the press, fermented on native yeasts in stainless steel and then spent nine months in once-used barrels with no lees stirring, so the oak frames the fruit without taking over. A cool, damp flowering cost the vines some clusters that year, and yields came in at just 22.5 hectolitres per hectare. The domaine has farmed biodynamically since 2003. It's a tiny, genuinely different take on white Burgundy, and an accessible way into the l'Arlot style.

"The 2024 Côte de Nuits Villages Au Leurey Blanc has a delightful bouquet with orange pith and Clementine. The palate is well balanced with an attractive texture and decent weight for a Côte de Nuits Village, with a dash of spice and stem ginger on the finish." —Neal Martin

More about Domaine de l'Arlot

For several decades now the Domaine de L'Arlot has been following its own path to creating wines that reflect both the subtleties of diverse terroirs and a distinct "house style" that is unique in Burgundy. The Domaine is located in Premeaux, on the southernmost edge of the Cotes-de-Nuits where Nuits-St-Georges tends to resemble Chambolle in elegance and perfume.

In 2015 the very talented Geraldine Godot was given full control of the domaine. She is committed to continuing the traditions of the house including biodynamic farming and a high percentage of whole clusters during fermentation. However she is making small changes, using less extraction and less new oak to achieve even more balance and grace.

The heart of the Domaine's holdings are two 1er Cru monopoles in Nuits-Saints-Georges: Clos de L'Arlot and Clos des Forets. These vineyards produce some of the most elegant wines in Nuits and are perfect examples of the finesse and purity of terroir that L'Arlot achieves.

They also have small parcels of vines in two of the top vineyards in Vosne-Romanée: Romanée-Saint-Vivant and Suchots. These blue chip wines are complimented by a range of excellent values from the Haut-Cotes and other sites surrounding Nuits.
