Arnoux-Lachaux
Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux
Established in 1858, Arnoux-Lachaux is a family affair. Pascal Lachaux (son-in-law of the late Robert Arnoux) is the fifth generation making wine at this Domaine, which has significant grand Cru holdings. he is now working in the winery with his son Charles who has joined him after working in wine regions in New Zealand, South Africa and Oregon.
The Domaine’s wine has always been good but its quality and reputation are sharply rising. A new winery, cellar upgrade and acquisition of a parcel of the Grand Cru Latricieres Chambertin have all contributed.

Vinous (93)The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Procès is comparatively stony on the nose, a little more austere on the nose, opening gradually with aeration, a mixture of red and black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a little more sinew on the entry than the Les Poisets, quite sappy towards the finish with a dash of white pepper and clove towards the harmonious finish. Very good persistence here, a wine that is deceptively approachable but it is worth cellaring. |

Burghound (87-90)There is a discreet floral hint adding a touch of elegance to the mix of earth red currant and dark raspberry aromas. The attractively textured and delineated medium-bodied flavors are shaped by relatively fine tannins for a Nuits villages, all wrapped in a lingering and solidly complex finish. |

Burghound (89-91)There is just enough reduction present to suppress the underlying fruit but it shouldn't last. Otherwise there is a really lovely texture to the attractively intense and vibrant middle weight flavors that display only a touch of rusticity on the complex, focused and solidly persistent finale. This too is really very good and worth a look. |

Vinous (90)The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges Villages has an open-knit, crushed strawberry and woodland scented nose, almost malic in style perhaps due to the 70% stem addition. The palate is fleshy with ample grip, very sappy in style with blackberry and tart red fruit on the finish that lingers in the mouth. What an excellent Village Cru! |

Vinous (89-91)The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Village is a blend of several vineyards that offer homogeneous ripeness but on different soils. It has quite an earthy, sous-bois tinged bouquet that is very well defined, the 60% whole bunches nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with a tart opening, and the 10% new oak lends discreet lift toward a persistent finish spiced with a dash of black pepper. Excellent. |

Jancis Robinson (16.5)1.42 ha from seven lieux-dits in the north of the appellation. 100% whole bunch. Lightish cherry red but greyish rather than crimson. A little more savoury than the Bourgogne and a very slight stemmy herbal note but it's subtle. A little bit peppery. More tension here than in the Bourgogne, a little lighter in obvious fruit and a little more tannic but barely so. Super-fresh. Dry and lingering. So elegant. |

Vinous (91)The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Village has a beautifully defined bouquet with red cherries, raspberry and light briary scents with wonderful mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins, very focused and smooth, great transparency here with a touch of piquancy on the finish. This is a sublime Village Cru. |

Wine Advocate (90+)Lachaux's 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges Village is also built for the cellar, offering up aromas of sweet red berries, plums and pomegranate with subtle hints of petals and orange zest. Medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with a dense, compact core of fruit framed by sweet structuring tannins, it concludes with a long, saline finish. |

Vinous (89-91)(50% vendange entier; 30% new oak; from vines in excess of 60 years of age): Healthy dark red with ruby tones. Lovely floral, spicy and herbal high notes to the aromas of black raspberry and crushed stone. Chewy and soil-driven, with red berry flavors enlivened by mineral-driven acidity. This nicely concentrated wine finishes serious, classic and dry but not at all hard. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2018 Nuit Saint-Georges Les Poisets comes from 0.7 hectares that this year produced just five barrels due to hail (14hl/ha). The nose feels a little disjointed at the moment, missing the focus that imbues Lachaux’s other 2018s. It needs to find more harmony during its élevage. The palate is medium-bodied with wild strawberry and cranberry fruit, firm tannins and a very pretty, pure finish that maybe just misses the length of other recent vintages I have tasted. |

Vinous (90)The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Poisets, which was hailed 2018 and therefore pruned short to replenish its vigour in 2019, was cropped at 15hl/ha. It has a fresh, slightly earthy bouquet with dark berry fruit, Earl Grey and light cedar scents. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity, quite pliant on the mouth with a hint of white pepper towards the finish with sour cherry on the aftertaste. Fine. |
