Domaine Arnoux Lachaux
The name Arnoux has been a feature in Vosne Romanée since the mid-19th century. Since the early 1990s Robert Arnoux's son-in-law Pascal Lachaux has been running the estate and in 2009 Pascal and Florence have at long last made the subtle change in the naming of the Domaine. Pascal has indeed proved himself to be a hugely talented winemaker and his drive and ambition have ensured that the Domaine is now regarded amongst the top tier in Vosne-Romanée.
Description
This wine is the result of a blend of five different blocks all located at the top of Chambolle’s slopes. They have a north-east exposition which allows them to benefit from nice sunshine. The soil is made of clay and limestone and is very rocky, which confers to the wine this mineral characteristic of the appellation. The average age of the vines here is 45 years old. Total holdings, 1.85 hectares.
Food Pairing
This elegant wine pairs excellently with duck and other game birds.
