Domaine Robert Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux Chambolle-Musigny

Punching above its weight, expressive nose with cranberry, violets and whole cluster notes. High complexity, elegant mouth feel, top showing.

Had at Springfest wine Salon. This wine showed beautifully and was a treat for the intellect next to a 2003 Mugneret Gibourg Ruchottes Chambertin. Very young still and in its primary fruit phase, lovely energy. Wide open as the sky and delicious, hard to resist it. Bright melange of red currants and sun kissed strawberries, summer roses and a discernible nuance of fresh earth. Though the fruit has a nice sweetness to it, the wine is slightly spicy and incredibly …

Ordered alongside full tasting menus at "Clos du Cedre" (Beaune). A pre-clay-vessel elevage, so the spiciness of barrique is present in this wine. The palate was very generous and the use of whole grapes was apprarent in the way the extract coagulated at the centre bottom of the stemware when the glass remained stationary for too long. Swirling recommended. The A-L style comes across as powerful, because the usual delicacy of the C-M region gives way to a richness of …

PoP, incredibly appealing right out of the gate. Vintages from 2017 onward display the unmistakable and appealing Charles Lachaux signature—quintessentially Pinot. Silky even in youth, with notes of pomegranate, green apple acidity, and bright red fruit. Clearly still young, with many years ahead, yet already drinking beautifully. A true pleasure. With clear upside when more mature.

Pretty red fruit, just the right amount of oak spice, super well made. Top class village burgundy.

(SYP) PNP The nose drew you in with notes of sandal wood, red berries and powered milk. Smooth and weightless on the palate, with loads of red fruit. There was a touch of warmth and greenness, and the finish was minerally. Over the next few hours, it breathed to show toasted spice, herbs, earth and rose petals. Slight bitterness and unbalance to the finish. The first few glasses were better.

Perfumed and pronounced, better on the first night than the second.

Expectations were high but this didn’t quite the reach the highs I was hoping for and it probably suffered a bit in comparison to the Jamet cote Brune. The nose was wonderful and promised more than the palate delivered. It was a touch closed at first but did improve with air. The fruit was lovely and there were nice roasted coffee and pipe tobacco flavours with a cinnamon spiciness but I was hoping for a bit more concentration and elegance. …

To be honest first day it was good but nothing that really impressed me all that much. Drank about 1/3, stuck it in the fridge with cork and tried again 2nd day. 2nd day was just pure joy to drink. Came off with very classic chambolle notes of lacey red strawberries and seamless acidity and tannins. I feel the wine is a bit closed on day one so drink it over two days if possible. Prolly a great medium term …

Wow young but so floral, crushed strawberries, significant follow through from start to finish. Special village

2017 vintage

Very light in color, which is telling me it's not that extracted. My second time with this producer, on the same wine and it did not deceive. Super floral, so great for the price. I get the hype now.

The nose is very clean and pure. Compared to the bottle I tried 6 or 7 months ago this seemed like it is slightly shutting down. Needed a push to open up but seriously good wine for this level of appellation. At this point waiting on these a couple of years I think would be the best idea.

A little bit of that iron fist in velvet glove going on here. Great complexity while still being light and elegant. Definitely upside from here.

PnP'ed. This started off a tad clenched, but grew (and grew) with air... Oh man, this was an extremely pretty wine (reminded me of the '15 Bertheau CM). Attractive florals - violets, lilies, some spices/stems, followed by raspberries & a tinge of cherry-liqueur, all becoming more pronounced with air/time in the glass. High-toned with great lift & purity, this caressed with satiny (dark)red cherries coating the palate. A beautiful village which would most certainly improve with some cellar age!

2017 vintage

The purity of the fruit is great. Already super enjoyable but has lots of upside

2017 vintage

Not bad, but this is very black-fruited, herbal and cool, very unlike Chambolle. Missing that red fruit/elegance expected. Is it like Leroy? Weight is certainly less. Palate keeps getting spicier and more complicated. 92-93

2017 vintage

plush and pure red fruit driven with a good spine. my first arnoux lachaux...excellent

2017 vintage

Nok en god flaske. Klar transparent rød farge. Kompleks, parfymert og relativt kraftig aroma med preg av bringebær, roser, nype, krydder og lakris. I munn er den medium fyldig, bra syre/tannin nivå som gir fin ryggrad. God lengde. Deilig åpen vin som jeg opplever at har lagt på litt vekt siden først flaske for ca. 8 måneder siden. Luftet i 1 time.

Lafon & Lachaux; 12/7/2020-12/8/2020 : Very pure and elegant, with high-toned crushed cherry. Beautiful!

Igjen en flott flaske, Deilig åpen Chambolle! Samme som forrige..

2017 vintage

Very Sexy and Sensual! Well-made as the Top Producer of Chambolle-Musigny Excellent QPR I want to drink once every two weeks.

2017 vintage

Samme som forrige 4/8/2020. Moden og drikkeklar. En av mine favoritter for tiden, koster drøye 800,- NKR, men i forhold til kvalitet så gir den god valuta i dagens Burgund marked.

2017 vintage

Quite nice and pretty. Solid village wine.

2017 vintage

Good nose, drinking well. Whole cluster very apparent

2017 vintage

Ripe and Fresh Redberry, Raspberry Stem and Mint (80% Whole Clusters) Floral, Musk and Soft Spices slightly Dark-side Chambolle (north facing vineyard on the upper slope) But Very Chambolle (Zen styled and Feminine) Gorgeous Mid-palate, Detailed Fine-beaded Mineral Almost 1er cru Quality Well Balanced and Long Finish The Scent is a little Austere now, (unlike well opened NSG village) The Palate is very Delicious now. Lachaux's 17 vintage is magic!
