Clos des Forêts Saint Georges is Domaine de l'Arlot's 7.2-hectare Premier Cru monopole in Premeaux. It runs from the forest down to the road across three limestone terroirs: white oolitic at the top, pink Premeaux limestone in the middle and clay-rich Ladoix at the base. Winemaker Géraldine Godot vinifies each section separately.

The fruit is fully destemmed, fermented spontaneously and raised for 16 months in oak, about 40% new. It is deeper and more structured than the Clos de l'Arlot, with dark cherry, plum and spice over a firm mineral spine and a long, savoury finish.

Nuits-Saint-Georges with real depth. Cellar it, then serve with beef, venison or game birds.
