  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!!!

  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!!

  30% new oak and 100% whole cluster. 3.5 barrels produced in 2018. In 2018, their Romanee Saint Vivant is less extracted than 2016 and 2017, resulting in a more aromatic wine with more elegance and purity than power, a style that I very much adore. Sweet dark berries with aromatic Vosne Romanee spices and floral tones. Lifted nose with great mouthfeel. Transparent minerality with a graceful finish. Bravo. (94-96/100)
