Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux Nuits-Saint-Georges
Country: France
Region: Burgundy
Grapes: Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2011
Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux (née Domaine Robert Arnoux) has deep roots in Burgundy, going all the way back to 1858. Now run by the revered Burgundy winemaker Charles Lachaux who took the reins in 2015, it is regarded as one of the very top domaines in the Côtes de Nuits, with enviable holdings across 6 villages and including Grand Crus.
This is a rare opportunity to taste a mature Arnoux-Lachaux Nuits-Saint-Georges from the 2011 vintage. Vivid, haunting aromatics of red fruits, roses, wet forest floor, smoke and souk spice. Well-structured and beautifully developed on the palate with a fine cranberry acidity and plenty of savoury game and mushroom notes developing with time.
