What is this wine?
Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux, based in Vosne-Romanée and now led by Charles Lachaux, has become one of Burgundy’s most dynamic and sought-after domaines. The style emphasizes whole-cluster fermentations, minimal new oak, and precision farming to highlight terroir. Clos des Corvées Pagets is a premier cru monopole in Nuits-Saint-Georges, with clay-limestone soils that produce Pinot Noir of depth and structure but with more finesse than many of the village’s crus further south. The 2015 vintage was warm and generous, yielding deeply concentrated yet balanced wines with superb aging potential.
Why get this wine?
Charles Lachaux has elevated Arnoux-Lachaux into cult territory, with demand for his wines far exceeding supply. Clos des Corvées Pagets offers a rare combination: a monopole site, a benchmark vintage, and the domaine’s modern, aromatic, whole-cluster style. For collectors, it is a highly distinctive Nuits-Saint-Georges of both power and elegance.
What does this wine taste like?
Dark cherry, blackberry, and raspberry layered with rose petal, exotic spice, and herbal lift from whole clusters. Structured yet silky, with fine tannins, lively acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish.
When should you drink this wine?
Best 2025–2040. Decant young bottles to reveal aromatics. Excellent with duck, venison, or truffle-infused dishes.
