| Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux - Benchmark Producer of Vosne-Romanee |
|
|
|
All of the wines of Arnoux-Lachaux are at the highest level and the notes speak for themselves. The best known wines are the Vosne-Romanée 1er cru Les Suchots (which is a benchmark of the appellation and of grand cru quality) and the grand cru Romanée-Saint-Vivant. Les Suchots separates the famous Echezeaux and Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru vineyards, it also borders next Richebourg. Les Suchots is viewed by many as the most obvious candidate for promotion to full Grand Cru status. Its wines are lush and full-bodied with earthy, spicy characters.
The vines of Arnou-Lachaux are average fifty years-old and the oldest, Nuit-Saint Georges Clos de Corvees Pagets were planted in 1921. The Nuits St Georges have a texture and class that is rare for this commune while the Vosne 1er cru Les Chaumes and Aux Reignots are wonderful. Restrained oak using, some whole cluster fermentation and no fining, Arnoux-Lachaux wines are hedonistic, layered Burgundies with intense aromatics and plush tannins, making them some of the rarest and most sought after in the world. |

2009 Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux, Romanee Saint-Vivant Grand Cru
AM95 |
| HKD $7,600.00 |
| "A supremely elegant combination of very discreet wood and natural spice together with very fresh red berry and plum aromas complements to perfection the rich yet incredibly fine middle weight flavors that are wonderfully seductive, complex and hugely long. This is textbook RSV as it is a wine of grace and finesse. This concentrated yet refined effort should also be a stunner in time." - Allen Meadow |

2010 Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux, Romanee Saint-Vivant Grand Cru
AM96 |
| HKD $7,600.00 |
| "A notably floral character adds breadth to the highly spiced and exceptionally fresh nose of cool red currant and plum. The rich, refined and admirably pure middle weight flavors are supported and shaped by ultra-fine tannins that coat the mouth on the incredibly long finish. Despite the underlying tension, this is essentially a wine of finesse and harmony that should also age for a very long time if desired. Brilliant and remarkably complex." - Allen Meadow |

AM91-93 |
| HKD $1,710.00 |
| "Good medium red. Complex aromas of redcurrant, leather and milk chocolate. Dense, chewy, soft and sweet but showing more underbrushy soil tones than higher-pitched flowers and fruit. Finishes with slightly dry, building tannins..." - Stephen Tanzer |

2009 Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux, Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru les Suchots
ST94 |
| HKD $2,375.00 |
| "Bright red-ruby. Blackberry, currant, minerals, violet and licorice on the nose and palate. Opulent, sweet and rich, but with its unctuous texture nicely leavened by sound acidity. Really wonderfully creamy, pliant wine, with a very long, perfumed finish featuring a light dusting of tannins that coats the entire mouth. A superb vintage for this bottling, to enjoy over the next 10 to 15 years." - Stephen Tanzer |

2010 Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux, Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru les Chaumes
ST91-93 |
| HKD $1,140.00 |
| "Good bright red. Aromas of black cherry, licorice, mint and bitter chocolate. Sweet, sappy and stuffed with fruit; a distinct small-berry character gives this wine an impression of power. Saline, medicinal wine with a long, youthfully tight finish. Solid tannins give this premier cru a firm structure for aging. There was a high percentage of millerandage here, said Pascal Lachaux, as with his Suchots and Reignots." - Stephen Tanzer |

2010 Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos des Corvees Pagets
AM90-92 |
| HKD $950.00 |
| "Moderate wood works with the softly spicy and distinctly earthy red berry fruit aromas where a hint of crushed herbs surfaces. The supporting tannins are really quite fine and the mouth feel is definitely on the refined side because of it, particularly on the seductively textured but firm finish that delivers excellent length." - Allen Meadow |
