Arnoux-Lachaux Bourgogne Pinot Fin 2021

This wine has long been one of the finest examples of Bourgogne AOC thanks to the quality of terroirs, plant material and farming practices. It comes from seven Pinot Fin (non-clonal Pinot) parcels, including one parcel planted in 1959 at Prémeaux in Nuits-Saint-Georges. This vineyard perennially suffers from millerandage (resulting in tiny berries and bunches) and thus generates low yields of rich, concentrated juice. Approximately half of this vintage is from Chambolle-Musigny (the great Les Bon Bâtons terroir) and a quarter each from Vosne-Romanée (Les Croix Blanches) and Nuits-Saint-Georges (Les Chaillots and Grand Chaillot). It’s a striking introduction to the stylistic evolution at this domaine. Expect a wine of great delicacy: vibrant, crystalline, ethereal.
