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.

Wine Advocate (93)The 2015 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos des Corvées Pagets, one of Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux's emblematic wines, wafts from the glass with a complex bouquet of plums, candied peel, violets and raspberries. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and complete, with a deep core of fruit, crystalline purity, and fine-grained but chalky tannins. Structurally, this is classic Premeaux. |

Wine Spectator (93)A core of pure cherry resonates in this red, showing depth and precision. This is augmented by floral, spice and mineral accents, all integrated with the supple texture and dense structure. Shows fine length on the finish. Best from 2016 through 2025. 250 cases made. -BS |

Vinous (89-92)(vinified with 40% whole clusters): Medium red. Fruit-driven aromas of red cherry and strawberry. The silkiest and thickest of these 2014s to this point but with plenty of energy and cut. Boasts a sexy stem component and finishes juicy and persistent, with plenty of ripe tannins. Charles Lachaux told me that he uses the whole-cluster fermentation to soften the structure of this wine and he predicts that it will make a nice drink in five years, earlier than past vintages. |

Vinous (91-93)(70% vendange entier; 20% new oak): Alluring aromas of red cherry, redcurrant, rose petal and spices. Sweet but firm wine with lovely inner-mouth energy and a touch of minerality giving precision to its flavors of red fruits and flowers. Finishes dry and classic, with a solid tannic spine and excellent length. |

Wine Advocate (92+)The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Procès is shutting down, opening reluctantly in the glass to reveal aromas of red berries, grilled meat and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny but dense, with a deep, concentrated core and chalky structuring tannins. This will need more time than the comparatively precocious 2017 rendition. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Procès, which includes 50% whole bunches, has a very feminine, pure red cherry and crushed strawberry bouquet that develops flinty scents with aeration. The medium-bodied palate displays supple tannin and a fine bead of acidity, and feels quite compact toward the finish; it will benefit from two or three years in bottle. Excellent. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Procès has a complex bouquet featuring earthy and woodland aromas and touches of morels and black truffle. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannins, and more compact than the Les Poisets, showing a touch of black pepper on the finish. Give this four or five years in bottle, because it has more to give. |

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. |
