Reviews 91 points Wine Advocate "...unfurling with aromas of sweet wild berries, plums, orange rind, rose petals, woodsmoke and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, it's deep and lively, with juicy acids and powdery structuring tannins. (WK)" 89-92 points Burghound "This too is quite elegant though with a different aromatic profile that derives more from the darker side of the fruit spectrum while incorporating a wide array of floral and spice elements. The suave, refined and sappy medium-bodied flavors possess a beguiling texture before culminating in a beautifully long and well-balanced finish. This is a relatively powerful Vosne villages with excellent underlying material. (AM)"

About Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux
Few producers have garnered the level of interest Charles Lachaux has in the past few years, and for good reason - he's the single most progressive vigneron in the region.
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)
