2018 | Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux | Clos de Vougeot Quatier de Marei Haut

The expressive nose is unusually elegant with it airy aromas of essence of red currant, cherry and soft spice and earth elements. There is once again very good volume to the sleekly textured and intense larger-scaled flavors that exhibit very fine power on the impressively long finale.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Lachaux's 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is showing brilliantly, offering up aromas of dark berries and plums complemented by nuances of orange rind, rose petals, dark chocolate and incense. Medium to full-bodied, deep and complete.

• Vinous: The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a very mineral-driven bouquet, crushed rock aromas percolating through the raspberry and wild strawberry fruit and hints of wet limestone developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy opening and a fine bead of acidity.

Producer Information

Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux is a red wine producer located in Vosne-Romanée, in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits. The domaine is best known for premium expressions of Pinot Noir from some of the best appellations in Burgundy. Many of the parcels sit adjacent to those of Burgundy superpower Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. The founders of the estate were Charles Arnoux and Renée Salbreux, and their son Robert took over the estate in 1957. He acquired small plots of vines around Burgundy in both grand and premier cru appellations and, today, the domaine has 14.5 hectares (35 acres) of vines in four grand cru, five premier cru and five village appellations. In 1987, Florence Arnoux and her husband Pascal Lachaux began to work with her father, Robert, at the domaine – they were in charge of the estate since Robert's death in 1995. The name was changed to Arnoux-Lachaux in 2008 to reflect the current ownership and winemaking is now headed-up by son Charles Lachaux, a vocal supporter of Burgundy doyenne Lalou-Bize Leroy and her wines.
