Domaine de l’Arlot is a celebrated wine producer that can trace its roots back to the 18th century. Owned by the AXA Millésimes group since 1987, its portfolio includes village-level premier cru and grand cru wines. This particular Chardonnay comes from the youngest Clos de l`Arlot vines, which were planted from 1992 to 2006. The 2019 vintage is an expressive wine, ripe with notes of lemon as well as brioche and vanilla.

It is based just south of the township of Nuits Saint-Georges and has vines in several prestigious vineyards including in two premier cru monopole vineyards – Clos de Forets Saint-Georges and Clos de l’Arlot.The l’Arlot vineyard was established in the 18th Century when the owner of the property built the encircling wall. Domaine de l’Arlot was expanded by the négociant Jules Belin after he bought it in 1891.The modern incarnation stems from the sale of the property by Belin’s heirs to French investment firm AXA Millésimes, which also owns several other wine estates including Château Pichon-Longueville Baron in Bordeaux. AXA further expanded Domaine de l’Arlot’s holdings with plots in the premier cru Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots vineyard and the grand cru Romanée Saint-Vivant.
