My Arnoux-Lachaux day. Had the 2017 Romanee St. Vivant at lunch. A 2018 Clos de Vougeot at 6 pm and this NSG at 10 pm. It holds its own with those two grand crus. All of these wines are full bodied but they display an incredible elegance. Red fruit and great salinity with a touch of acid to create great balance. For me Charles Lachaux has reached superstar status in 2018 with unfortunately prices to match. That is what makes this wine so great, it is still relatively affordable and scores almost as good as the two grand crus tasted earlier. — 5 years ago

Haven’t had it since tasting 2013 years ago. Very nice basic Burg holding up well, not that complex but very nice to drink with meal. Couple more found. — 8 months ago
Blend of Grenache (65%), Syrah (15%), Mourvèdre (15%) and Cinsault (10%). Dark ruby color. Aromas of black cherry, spices, violets and just a bit of leather. Black cherry and blueberry fruit lead the palate with touches of those sweet spices, roasted meat and minerals. Slight saline note on the long and lingering finish. Full bodied well structured and powerful. Excellent balance and complexity. Thanks for opening this one, Keith S! — 10 months ago
2022/8. As I’ve noted lately, it feels like the de Villaine whites have added another level in the last several years - deeper, more complex and more satisfying, without sacrificing any joyousness and without trying to be Meursault or anything like that. — 4 years ago

By now everyone knows the name of Charles Lachaux, quickly becoming a Burgundy legend, and while 2017 is the vintage where Charles’ stylistic changes are known to take full effect, by 2013 such changes had already begun once he took the reigns the prior year—more judicial use of new oak, increasing amounts of whole clusters each subsequent vintage, higher and denser canopies, just to mention a few. His 2019 vintage is what did it for me. Simply incredible wines.
But at age 12, 2013 Chaumes, 50% whole cluster and 50% new oak is showing beautifully after some required air, with a seductively elegant perfume, terrific fruit density and concentration for the vintage, and a long mineral, spice and saline inflicted finale. Pre-2017, I think the Vosne bottlings are the best, but I think they need at least 10 years to absorb the oak. But now, everything’s great, even on release! — 6 months ago
Drinking down the few remaining 2013s and they’d generally held up well if not mellowed out with more years of rest. Mature autumnal notes and lively texture that varies long into the finish. — 8 months ago
John has this right: old school. It’s rich and has plenty of unripe strawberry and garrigue and tart cherries going on. Love it. Not too complex but great value. 2023
