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, Romanee-St. Vivant

The vineyard faces east, has a gentle incline and an elevation of 250 to 265 meters. The soil is clay and limestone.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand 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.
