RATINGS

91+ Stephen Tanzer

Silky and suave but also sappy and vibrant, with complex, delineated flavors of red fruits, flowers and spices.

90-92Robert M. Parker Jr.

Bursts forth with licorice-imbued black cherry fruit aromas. This medium-bodied effort exhibits outstanding concentration, depth, and freshness. Copious quantities of black, tar-laced fruits can be found in its structured character.

...delicious if awkward flavors because of the late malo. Still, this is concentrated, moderately structured, sappy and extremely long with excellent finishing intensity.

PRODUCER

Domaine Robert Arnoux

Domaine Robert Arnoux is a 35-acre estate in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits that traces its roots to 1858. Its mid-to-late 20th century history was shaped by Robert Arnoux, who took over from his father in the 1950s and made improvements to the vineyards and cellar. Robert died in 1995 and today the estate is run by Robert’s daughter Florence and her husband, Pascal Lachaux. The domaine has Grand Cru vineyards in Vosne-Romanee, Clos de Vougeot and Romanee-St.-Vivant. It also has Premier Cru and villages parcels in Nuits-Saint-Georges and Chambolle-Musigny. Clive Coates has written that the wines made under Pascal Lachaux "have been excellent."

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanee, Les Chaumes

Les Chaumes is a 16.1-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Vosne-Romanee appellation of Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. Located on the appellation’s southern boundary, it is just to the west of Aux Malconsorts. The slight slope of the vineyard makes for good drainage, and the soil is a rich mix of clay and alluvial soil.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
