Producer Information

Charles Lachaux, 6th generation owner of Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux in Vosne-Romanée, seems very easy with the whirlwind of the last few years. The curly haired, shy-looking Charles seems unphased by what is going on in Burgundy in general but more importantly, the funfair and celebration in which every new release of his wines is met.alking to him about his Viticulture (he sees himself fiercely as a vine grower first, after which all other tasks come, including winemaking) and the changes he has introduced, it is hard to believe he is in his early 30s . some of the methods are so clear to him, he doesn’t feel the need to experiment on a small scale first. It’s as if he received a vision or a message that it will simply work. You don’t get much of an answer when asking for his source of inspiration. Allowing vines to grow ‘wild’ to three or four metres in height, in Burgundy, is something not many growers will entertain. The standard height of vines in Burgundy is around one metre of the ground. Lachaux’s method of letting his vines grow and arching them is backed by a complete science. Distance between buds, foliage ratio, crop, depth of roots, maturity of grapes (some of his Vosne Romanee vines are picked a month before his neighbours!), shading and aeration. A strong building block on which the rest of the Arnoux-Lachaux revolution of operation is founded.
