2014 Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux Latricieres-Chambertin #167269009
Reviews 91-94 points Vinous "Healthy deep red. Sexy aromas of red berries, spices, pepper and crushed stone. Distinctly extract-rich, rocky wine with terrific sappy energy and tensile strength. Comes across as a bit cooler in character than the Echezeaux and finishes with serious building tannins. (ST)" Jancis Robinson "Deep crimson. Deep-fruited and deeply aromatic with lovely purity of fruit on the nose and that hint of orange again, plus a light note of oak spice. Tannins are on the chewy side now but they appear to be of the texture that will melt in time. A touch stemmy, adding greater freshness. Embryonic finesse. (JH)"

About Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux
Charles' mentality towards farming goes far beyond organic and biodynamic. He lets shoots grow 10+ feet tall, practices no tilling, and wild grasses and flowers flourish throughout the vines. One look at the vineyard, and you can quickly see how alive it is. His vine training method (inspired by Madame Bize-Leroy) encourages sap flow, which leads to healthier plants, higher quality fruit, and ultimately more complex wines.
Charles uses a sensory approach to vinification, constantly tasting to help drive his decision-making. All vinifications have minimal intervention and are 100% whole cluster for the reds. The resulting wines are sapid and energetic, and unequivocally deserve a place in every Burgundy fanatics' cellar.
"This is an immensely promising domaine, with one of the brightest futures ahead of any in Burgundy, and readers should start paying attention." William Kelley (WA)
