Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2019 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Quartier de Marei Haut wafts from the glass with aromas of plums and dark berry fruit mingled with baking chocolate, warm spices and peonies. One of the more youthfully reserved wines in the range, it’s full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a concentrated core of fruit

• Allen Meadows: A brooding and much less expressive nose grudgingly offers up notes of various dark berries, warm earth, discreet floral suggestions and a touch of plum. There is once again excellent volume to the dense, serious and muscular larger-scaled flavors that retain a lovely sense of delineation while delivering first-rate length on the powerful, focused and firmly structured finale.

Producer Information

Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux is a red wine producer located in Vosne-Romanée, in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. The domaine is best known for premium expressions of Pinot Noir from some of the best appellations in Burgundy. Many of the parcels sit adjacent to those of Burgundy superpower Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. The founders of the estate were Charles Arnoux and Renée Salbreux, and their son Robert took over the estate in 1957. He acquired small plots of vines around Burgundy in both grand and premier cru appellations and, today, the domaine has 14.5 hectares (35 acres) of vines in four grand cru, five premier cru and five village appellations. In 1987, Florence Arnoux and her husband Pascal Lachaux began to work with her father, Robert, at the domaine – they were in charge of the estate since Robert’s death in 1995. The name was changed to Arnoux-Lachaux in 2008 to reflect the current ownership and winemaking is now headed-up by son Charles Lachaux, a vocal supporter of Burgundy doyenne Lalou-Bize Leroy and her wines. The Arnoux-Lachaux vines in the Côte de Nuits appellations are between 40 and 90 years old, with those of Romanée-Saint-Vivant some of the oldest. Holdings of the domaine include plots in Vosne-Romanée, Clos de Vougeot, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny, Echezeaux and Latricières-Chambertin. Lachaux uses an organic and biodynamic approach to farming the vines, although currently the domaine is not certified for either.
