Tasting notes
The Clos de l'Arlot Blanc from Domaine de l'Arlot is quite an extraordinary white wine from the Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru in Burgundy. What makes it unique is that it's crafted entirely from Pinot Noir, which is usually a red grape. The 2007 vintage reflects a year when the Burgundy climate imparted great character, enhanced by the aging process.
In the 32nd volume of 'The Drops of God,' Shizuku and Miyabi select this wine to help reconcile two people at Auberge de Duo. It has the warmth of Hakone, with a gentle aroma reminiscent of sunlight filtering through leaves. When you taste it, there's a lively acidity that brings out its elegant finish, making it the perfect wine for bringing people together.
Pour a glass and you'll see a clear golden hue that catches the light beautifully. Its aroma is subtle at first, but as it opens up, notes of apple and white flowers come through. The taste is robust with vibrant acidity, giving a fresh impression. There's a harmonious balance with the elegant fruitiness, offering something new with every sip.
You should enjoy this wine slightly chilled, around 10-12 degrees Celsius. Use a medium-sized glass to gently capture the aromas—it's a wine that's best savored slowly.
