94 Points! Vinous
On the nose, dark cherries and crushed stone, with a hint of wilted rose petals in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with beautifully integrated new oak, lending this a velvety veneer. Plush, with equivalent tension and a detailed, slightly piquant finish. This is an outstanding Nuits Saint-Georges from the Domaine.

Expert Reviews
Complex nose of candied orange peel, orange blossoms and fresh almonds with hints of vanilla and beeswax. Here is exactly the combination of concentration, restrained ripeness and elegance that we look for in high-end white Burgundy. At the upper edge of medium-bodied, the candied citrus character expands as it flows over your palate. Very long, complete finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Blanc Clos de l'Arlot 1er Cru was taken from tank on the lees before filtration and fining. Aged in 25% new oak, it offers pretty apple blossom, gooseberry and persimmon scents that gradually unfold, though never completely let loose. The palate is well-balanced, with noticeable weight and heft on the entry. This is a concentrated white Burgundy, yet Géraldine Godot manages to retain sufficient tension and poise, elongating the finish. Apparently, this bottle had opened up considerably since being uncorked the previous day. Touch of ginger on the aftertaste. Punchy!
