Arnoux-Lachaux Romanee Saint Vivant Grand Cru 2015 [NET]

$1,49999

Charles Lachaux is among the most talked-about young winemakers in Burgundy, and bottles from this Vosne-Romanee estate have become some of the most sought-after in the region. Romanee-Saint-Vivant is a Grand Cru sitting just below Romanee-Conti on the slope, and the Lachaux family farms a tiny parcel of old vines there, planted in 1926. Vinified with full-cluster fermentation and aged in a measured proportion of new oak, this is the silken, perfumed style of Vosne taken to its highest expression. At a decade on, the 2015 vintage—powerful, ripe, and impeccably balanced—is entering a beautiful drinking window. A serious occasion bottle from a legendary site.

"Here the kaleidoscopically spicy nose is slightly riper with its beautifully layered range of both red and blue pinot fruit, sandalwood, anise, hoisin and rose petal. The rich, classy and ultra-refined medium weight flavors possess a caressing mouthfeel before terminating in a marvelously complex, driving and explosively long finish. This almost thick effort is quite firm but not at all austere though I have a sneaking feeling that this is going to shut down significantly once it is in bottle and thereafter, plenty of patience will be requisite." —Allen Meadows

"Full dark red. Musky, wild scents of raspberry, espresso and mocha quickly shut down in the glass. Plump, sweet and quite powerful, with its very ripe, almost liqueur-like dark fruit flavors a bit blurred today by the wine's significant baby fat. Finishes broad, dry and very long but downright inscrutable. Today I don't find the sappy minerality or lift this wine displayed from barrel a year ago but it's stubbornly backward today and will need at least six or seven more years of cellaring." —Stephen Tanzer

"The 2015 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is lovely, revealing a beautifully pure bouquet of cassis, plum, clove, violets, rose petal and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and complete, with supple, fine-grained tannins and excellent depth and dimension, with the most flesh on its bones of all the domaine's grands crus. The inherent elegance of Romanée-Saint-Vivant really plays into Charles Lachaux's hands." —William Kelley

Tasting Profile

Silky and perfumed with red cherry, rose petal, violet, and exotic spice. Full-bodied but weightless, with fine tannins and a long, mineral finish.
