Immerse yourself in the lavish flavours with a bottle of Charles Lachaux Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Argillas 2021. This exceptional Pinot Noir is a masterpiece from the hands of renowned vintner Charles Lachaux, born in the prestigious vineyards of Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy. Lachaux's meticulous and innovative techniques, such as no crushing, short-cold maceration, and gentle pump-overs, extol the fineness and aromatic complexity of the grape.

Lachaux cultivates Aux Argillas with organic and biodynamic principles, steering away from typical vine-age approach. The 2021 vintage, aged for 16 months in oak barrels, delivers a refined complexity and delicate balance of rich fruit, structured tannins, and elegant finish. Its taste profile is accentuated by vivid layers of red cherry, blueberries, and violets, paired with strokes of spice and mineral undertones. Experience the vibrant delight that is Charles Lachaux Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Argillas 2021, a testament to Lachaux's masterful command of viticulture and winemaking.

Decanter (96)

The Faiveley holdings add up to 0.87ha on variety of soil types and altitudes, but they are all comparatively cool. This was picked late as a result on September 4th and marries richness, weight and honeyed complexity with vibrant, mineral-edged acidity and scented oak. A textbook Corton-Charlemagne from a year that didn't lend itself to classic wines.

Vinous (91)

Exotic orange liqueur on the very ripe nose. Fat and sweet in the mouth, with a distinctly opulent texture for young Perrieres. A sweet flavor of candied orange is leavened by wet stone, with a mineral component providing lift and standing in for lowish acidity. I find this less sharply delineated than the Charmes and more influenced by the vintage.

Vinous (92)

Jadot’s 2012 Beaune 1er Cru Celebration is aromatically quite expressive, with lovely bright, floral notes that play off a core of red berry and stone fruits. The gracious, almost feminine, bouquet is alluring and suggests a wine that is quite open, but the palate sensation is completely different. Tiny yields and high skin to juice ratios yielded red Burgundies with huge tannic clout that obscures the fruit, which is exactly how the wine comes across in tasting. It will be interesting to see if the 2012 softens over time, or if it gains volume with aging. Today, it is decidedly on the austere side of things.

Vinous (92)

The 1992 Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet continues to entrance, even if I believe it has lost some of its luster in recent years. Here it has an elegant bouquet that feels quite generous and rich for a 1992, a patina of toastiness that complements the citrus fruit. The palate is rounded in the mouth: hints of almond and coconut, perhaps a notch lower in acidity than I might have liked with a subtle honeyed tincture on the finish. It is a gorgeous Bienvenue if not in the same class as the 1988. Tasted at the La Paulée in Beaune.
