The 2020 Arnoux Lachaux Nuits Saint Georges Les Poisets is a red Burgundy that comes from a vintage marked by remarkable concentration and an early harvest, often cited as one of the earliest on record. The winter of 2019-2020 was mild and wet, replenishing water tables, followed by a fine spring and a hot, dry summer with no significant heat spikes until August. Despite some hail affecting the southern side of Nuits-Saint-Georges on August 1st, the overall health of the grapes was exceptional, with no rot or mildew. The Côte de Nuits, in general, was more successful than the Côte de Beaune in 2020, producing a significant proportion of potentially very great wines, though some Nuits-Saint-Georges vineyards experienced excessively ripe flavors or issues from the hail. This particular wine, from the Les Poisets vineyard, is noted for its intense ruby color and expressive, complex nose of red and black fruits, with nuances of terroir already perceptible. Some reviews highlight aromas of mocha, cherry, and spices, with a fresh, ample mouthfeel characterized by dark cherry, nutmeg, and coffee, leading to a nice finish. Others describe it as bursting with black cherry, blackberry, and violet aromas and flavors, balanced with a juicy finish. While some tasters found it to lack structure and finesse, others praised its elegance and powerful, long finish. Food pairing suggestions for this red Pinot Noir include red meat like roasted leg of mutton, duck, goose, game birds, and mature cheeses. This wine is well-suited for a celebratory dinner, a special occasion with discerning guests, or a quiet evening enjoying a fine Burgundy. It's a wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared for further development, with an optimal consumption window of 8 to 15 years and an aging potential of up to 20 years. 【Exceptional concentration and aging potential from an early, healthy vintage】
