Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux Nuits-Saint-Georges 2012 marks the debut vintage of Charles Lachaux, the sixth generation and Burgundy’s most exciting rising star, who studied under the legendary Lalou Bize-Leroy.
Revolutionary Whole-Cluster Winemaking
The 2012 vintage introduced Charles’s groundbreaking approach—50% whole-cluster fermentation, marking a radical departure from traditional Burgundian methods and the beginning of the estate’s transformation toward organic, empirical winemaking inspired by Leroy.
Expressive Red Berry & Fine Tannins
Expect an expressive, bright nose featuring diverse red berries, earth, floral elements, and a background note of anise. The palate delivers delicious medium-weight flavors shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins, with good precision and a mouth-coating, dusty, lingering finish. An extra floral dimension adds complexity throughout.
