"L’Arlot was the first big estate I worked with in Burgundy. In 1988, when I was just starting my import company, during one of my tastings with Dominique Lafon I asked him what was new and exciting in Burgundy. Of course, I was hoping he would say, ‘Why don’t you import my wines?’ but that would come later. Instead he directed me to a friend of his, Jean Pierre de Smet, who had worked at Domaine Dujac for a number of years and had recently taken over a 14-hectare property named Domaine de l’Arlot. I was intrigued by its style that was more classic with the use of whole clusters. As I still do today, I loved the perfume and elegance of these wines. In 2007, management of the Domaine was handed over to Olivier Leriche who is faithful to the pure and elegant style that Domaine de L’Arlot has built its reputation on.” —Daniel Johnnes
