Thanks to the quality of terroirs, the plant material and the farming practices involved, this wine has long been one of the very finest examples of the Bourgogne AOC. It comes from seven parcels of Pinot Fin (non-clonal Pinot), 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 very low yields of rich, concentrated juice. Approximately half of this vintage is from Chambolle-Musigny and a quarter each from Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges. Cropped at a very low 24 hectolitres per hectare (less than half of what is legally permitted), this is Lachaux's highest-yielding cuvée from 2019! It was vinified with 100% whole bunches and raised exclusively in mature barrels. The quality for the level is off the charts.

Reviews

“This was the only wine in the cellar which had been racked, with a light sulphur adjustment, for bottling in November, and represents the largest yield at 24 hl/ha. The wine displays a lovely noble purple colour with the most gorgeous bouquet, finesse and sensibility.” 89-91 points
Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
Outstanding. Top Value. “Airy and very fresh aromas of red currant, raspberry and earth give way to racy, textured and nicely detailed flavors that offer notably better depth and persistence than the average example. Worth your interest as this is very good for its level.” 87-89 points
Allen Meadows, Burghound
“There will be less than ever of Lachaux's 2019 Bourgogne Pinot Fin, but its quality is some compensation for the lack of quantity. Soaring from the glass with scents of peonies, plums, cherries and blood orange, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and succulent, with a pillowy, enveloping profile and a long, perfumed finish.” 89-91 points
