Until the 2021 vintage, Clos de l’Arlot Blanc was made from two small parcels of mass-selection vines planted in 1956 and 1984 on this vineyard’s steepest, rockiest section. The soil is white, chalky clay, and the hard limestone bedrock is near the surface. It’s therefore extremely challenging to cultivate and everything here must be done by hand, including weeding and organic and biodynamic spraying. The poor soils and old vines result in low yields, and the site’s exposure gives genuine ripeness, so we can always expect a deep, textural white. The mineral soils bring freshness.
This cuvée now covers all the plots, as La Gerbotte is included in Arlot, given that the vines are now 30 years old after all. Racked to tank but neither fined nor filtered yet. 25% new wood just features lightly on the nose, rather more evident on the palate. There is adequate concentration of white fruit, with a saline apple finish. The oak needs to calm down, as I am sure it will.
