Really great tasting "Arnoux Lachaux 2018" with 3 friends. We are all ok to say that's the best 2018 that we taste this Year with Bruno Clair (Clos de Beze and Clos Saint-Jacques), Benjamin Leroux (the fabulous Clos saint Denis) and L'Arlot (RSV and Suchots "the best quality for price" of all). some great wine critics do not hesitate to compare it to the Leroy estate. We didn't believe it before tasting it. Yeahhhh!!!
Romanée Saint-Vivant 97-99
Vosne Les Reignots 98-100
Vosne les Suchots 96-98
Vosne Les Chaumes 95-97 (Top quality price)
Latricieres Chamb. 96-98
Clos Vougeot 93-95
NSG Corvées Paget 92-94
NSG Les Procès 93-95 (top quality price)
Chambolle M. 91-93
All we think that Charles Lachaux (and B. Leroux) will be the 2 or 3 best winemaker of tomorrow. Only one problem, we could only buy one bottle of the best four!!

From 0.19ha plot and only 2 barrels produced in 2018 (6 bunches per vine), same as 2017. 50% new oak. 100% whole cluster. Slightly greener stems than Les Suchots with an intense inner core of rose petal, luminous mixed berries and refined spices. Sleek and suave. Full bodied Grand Cru qualities with good potency. This will require more cellaring to show its full potential. (93-94/100)
