In the heart of the Côte de Nuits, Domaine de l’Arlot is a celebrated Burgundian winery located in Prémeaux, just two kilometres south of Nuits-Saint-Georges. With roots stretching back to the 18th century, this esteemed estate is renowned for producing some of the Côte de Nuits' most acclaimed wines, including the grand cru Romanée Saint-Vivant, and the monopole Nuits-Saint-Georges premier crus "Clos des Forêts Saint-Georges" and "Clos de l’Arlot" white. Under the stewardship of Christian Seely and Géraldine Godot, the estate’s philosophy focuses on minimal intervention, adhering closely to the vines' natural rhythms to preserve the integrity of the terroir. Embracing organic methods in 2000 and biodynamic practices in 2003, the estate earned its organic certification (AB) in 2014, eschewing synthetic chemicals and fertilisers to foster a pure, vibrant expression of the land. Domaine de l’Arlot is primarily known for its exquisite red wines, particularly the grand cru Romanée-Saint-Vivant.

Géraldine Godot, a microbiologist and oenologist, has led the winemaking team since 2014. Her meticulous and thoughtful winemaking approach crafts wines that are both richly flavorful and elegantly structured, showcasing the depth and complexity of the Nuits-Saint-Georges and Vosne-Romanée terroirs.
