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 immediately appealing, opening with a bouquet of lively, sweet cassis and strawberry fruits, which gradually reveal darker plum characters intermingled with violets and wild flowers. There is a wonderfully racy energy on the palate and a seductive, almost aromatic quality to the delicate rose petal fruit that swirls over the cool, dark fruit and fine tannins.
Food Pairing
Delicious with pork cassoulet with crusty bread.
