This famous Domaine has undergone some significant changes over the last few years. Firstly the name has changed from Domaine Robert Arnoux to Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux. This reflects the fact that the wines have been made by Pascal Lachaux for some 20 years now and that he and his wife Florence Arnoux (daughter of Robert Arnoux) have been running the Domaine since 1995.
Although always good, the quality of this Domaine’s wines has soared in recent vintages. These are hedonistic, layered Burgundies with intense aromatics and plush tannins. They are classy wines that deliver in spades. The vineyards are located mainly in Vosne Romanee and the immediately surrounding communes.

An airy and beautifully broad-ranging nose offers up notes of floral, spice and pure red and dark berries. The delicious and round yet nice detailed and vibrant flavors possess a dusty yet refined mouth feel before terminating in a lingering, balanced and harmonious finale. Lovely and understated.
