🏰【A Grand Cru reborn, this 2019 Clos de Vougeot "Quartier de Marei Haut" from Arnoux-Lachaux is a rare, precise, and profoundly age-worthy wine, showcasing high-elevation intensity with Charles Lachaux's finesse.】 Formerly known as Domaine Robert Arnoux, the estate changed its name to Arnoux-Lachaux in 2008, with winemaking now headed by Charles Lachaux. This 2019 bottling is a revelation from the prized upper section of Clos de Vougeot, 'Quartier de Marei Haut,' known for its purity, floral energy, and sculpted tannins. This brilliant Grand Cru wafts from the glass with aromas of plums and dark berry fruit mingled with baking chocolate, warm spices, and peonies. It offers a beautifully-defined bouquet with tensile red berry fruit, cracked black pepper, and a touch of hoisin. The palate is full-bodied, velvety, and concentrated, with lively acids, powdery tannins, and a concentrated core of fruit. Expect notes of red currant, blood orange, wild herbs, flint, and rose stem, with a vibrant and vertical structure, fine-grained tannins, and long tension. Some describe a brooding and less expressive nose initially, grudgingly offering dark berries, warm earth, and subtle floral suggestions. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH This exceptional Pinot Noir pairs perfectly with grilled lamb, duck breast, or mushroom tart.
