Domaine Robert Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux
Les Proces Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Nuits St. Georges, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
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.

Dinner with dear friends in Brooklyn last night who generously served this lovely Burgundy. Smooth with soft tannins, everything beautifully balanced and perfect for drinking right now.

Not approachable in a Cal. Sort of way, intense and tightly wound. Time will be its friend

Transcendental nuits-saint-georges holiday bliss. Slate, dry, dark & moody. Speechless.

Dec 24th, 202116.5+/20 (90+/100) Насыщенный аромат малины, вишни и много-много ванили. Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью. Бархатистые, суховатые танины. Ягодное во вкусе. В принципе, пить можно и сейчас, но потенциал есть.

Seemed to be prematurely oxidized at only 9 years, but was still a delicious wine

Oct 4th, 2017Good nose, but still a bit tannic and acidic. I was hoping it would be better.
