Domaine de l'Arlot

Jean-Pierre de Smet describes the last three vintages ('99, '98 and '97) as offering good sugar levels, little or no rot, and average acids. Yields in '98 averaged a reasonable 34 hectoliters per hectare, and de Smet destemmed barely 5% of his fruit. As we tasted a promising 1998 Beaune Greves from barrel, de Smet informed me that his Nuits-Saint-Georges-based domain sold off this parcel following the '98 harvest. It was too far away and thus too much work, de Smet explained; there was also an ongoing erosion problem involving a neighbor property and an adjacent road.
