Established in Vosne-Romanée since 1858, Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux has established itself within a decade as one of the most sought-after and most talked-about names in all of Burgundy. Under the influence of Charles Lachaux, who joined in 2011, this fourteen-hectare family estate spread across some fifteen appellations in the Côte de Nuits has undergone a complete revolution, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. High planting densities, gobelet pruning, high trellising, the cessation of shoot-trimming, biodynamic farming, whole-cluster harvesting and ageing in sandstone jars have given birth to infused Pinot Noirs of delicate texture and striking aromatic nobility. From the Bourgogne Pinot Fin to the Romanée-Saint-Vivant, everything is exclusively red and produced in infinitesimal quantities.
The vineyard is cultivated according to the principles of biodynamics, and meticulous care is taken in the work of the vines. The soils are ploughed with the help of a draught horse, the harvest is done by hand, and a rigorous sorting process is carried out to retain only the finest grapes. The estate has had a new winery since 2005, where the wine flows by gravity. The range of wines is composed of 5 village cuvées (2 Vosne-Romanée, 2 Nuits-Saint-Georges and 1 Chambolle-Musigny), 5 Premier Crus in total: 3 in Vosne-Romanée (Les Suchots, Aux Reignots, Les Chaumes) and 2 in Nuits-Saint-Georges (Clos des Corvées Pagets, Les Procès), and no fewer than 4 Arnoux Lachaux Grand Crus (Romanée Saint-Vivant, Échezeaux, Clos Vougeot, and Latricières-Chambertin). Being here at the heart of the famous Côte de Nuits, the Arnoux Lachaux estate produces only red wines. Often characterized by whole-cluster fermentation, the wines are infused, rich in delicate textures drawn from plump grapes, and of great aromatic nobility. The Chambolle-Musigny Arnoux Lachaux is refined and subtle. The Vosne-Romanée Arnoux Lachaux is more powerful, yet precise. The Arnoux Lachaux Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes, with its delicate and spicy nose, has great depth; it is marked by a velvety and seductive sap. The Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Procès, situated mid-slope above the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges, reflects the mineral character of the appellation, with an intense and authentic palate and fine tannins. The Échezeaux Arnoux Lachaux, positioned at the heart of the appellation in the lieu-dit Les Rouges du Bas, benefits from old vines of over 60 years, and it comes across as spirited, combining the delicate softness of wild strawberry with a peppery touch. Finally, the celebrated Romanée Saint-Vivant Arnoux Lachaux, the estate's iconic grand cru, situated just 50 metres below the mythical Romanée-Conti, offers a truly velvety carpet of tannins and a pure, nuanced fruit of phenomenal intensity. Highly recommended, should you manage to acquire one of the rare bottles available on the market.
