2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges, Domaine Cyprien Arlaud

This is a blend of three different parcels just to the north of the village that cluster around the 1ers Crus; Argillats, Petite Charmotte and Au Chouillet. It has some substance to it and an attractive earthy spiciness. It’s still a little backward, much more so than the Morey below, but structurally it tends towards the Vosne rather than the Nuits, so should come round reasonably swiftly. Drink from 2027
