Arnoux-Lachaux Chambolle-Musigny 2019

Arnoux-Lachaux's village Chambolle-Musigny comes from five domaine-owned parcels at the top of the slope, up against the limestone cliffs.

Chambolle-Musigny sits between Morey-Saint-Denis and Vougeot in the Côte de Nuits, and is known for the finer-boned, more perfumed style of Pinot Noir that its thin, limestone-rich soils produce. The parcels behind this wine are Les Danguerrins, Les Creux Baissants, Les Fouchères and Derrière le Four, covering 1.85 hectares in total, with an average vine age of forty years. They lie mostly on north-facing ground high on the hillside, where the soil is very rocky and full of limestone and the ripening runs later than lower down, which is a considerable advantage in warm years. Charles Lachaux has cut yields hard and moved the domaine towards taller trellising and whole-bunch fermentation, with ageing in mostly used barrels.

Fine to open after a few years and capable of a decade or more; serve at 16-18°C with roast duck, veal or mushroom dishes.
