🏰 The 2019 vintage in 布根地 (Burgundy) was characterized by a very warm growing season with heatwaves that lowered yields, but Pinot Noirs were reliably good to excellent, with concentration suitable for medium to long-term drinking. For Arnoux Lachaux's Vosne Romanée Les Hautes Maizières, 2019 saw a small crop due to a heatwave, which also concentrated acidity. This was the first vintage where the domaine did not trim all vineyards and employed 100% whole cluster fermentation with no added sulfur, reflecting Charles Lachaux's innovative approach. 【Arnoux-Lachaux is renowned for premium Pinot Noir, with vineyards often adjacent to those of the legendary Domaine de la Romanée-Conti】. This Vosne-Romanée Les Hautes Maizières 2019 displays a dense dark crimson color. The bouquet is exquisitely defined with transparent red cherries and crushed strawberry, harmonious with light sous-bois aromas. It offers more power than delicacy, with darker fruit, muscle, and elegance, backed by some tannins and good acidity. Expect notions of plums and raspberries mingled with sweet spices, orange rind, and loamy soil, leading to a medium to full-bodied, layered, and super concentrated palate. It's a silky and complex wine with perfumed red fruit, savory depth, and a mineral line. 🍴 This elegant red 布根地 (Burgundy) is a superb match for classic game birds like roasted duck, goose, or other game. It would also complement dishes such as pan-seared foie gras or a rich mushroom risotto. 🥂 Best left to settle a little longer, this wine is perfect for a special occasion or a serious tasting among connoisseurs who appreciate the depth and evolving complexity of a fine Vosne-Romanée. Serve at 16-17°C to allow its perfume and silky depth to fully emerge.
