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

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

At 17 years, fully mature. Ethereal with PnP, changing over a two hour dinner, first adding red fruits and then drying tannins. — 9 months ago

Medium rubi robe, nose of cherries infusion, berries, crushed roses, violets and a hint of spices. Medium bodied, deceivingly light, gaining a lot with aeration and developing nicely. Really great stuff: we love it. — 9 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

I think this is the best release of this wine I’ve had. LC22. It’s excellent tonight layered with ripe orchard fruit, gun smoke, salted hazelnuts and exotic spices. The palate is structured and concentrated with a satiny texture and vibrant energy giving way to a saline and mineral laced finale. Delicious! — 8 months ago

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
