Les Chaumes is situated just below Aux Malconsorts and La Tâche. It has a little more clay and iron in the soil than most of the surrounding 1er Cru sites, and this tends to bring more depth and structure than we might typically expect of a young Vosne. With age, these tannins melt, and the Vosne typicity comes to the fore, exploding with perfume and texture. Lachaux farms 0.74 hectares in the middle sector of Les Chaumes, with rows running from the top to the bottom. In 2020, these vines were cropped at less than 10 hl/ha!

Reviews

“From vineyard that has arguably made the biggest progress under Charles Lachaux's innovative farming practices, the 2020 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of peonies, cherries, sweet red plums, confit orange and spices. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, it allies all the charm and suppleness typical of Les Chaumes with uncommon depth and concentration.”
94+ points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“A glowing dark purple, without any black notes. Sensual but balanced, pied de coteau, similar age and vegetal material as Procès. The floral nose includes some rose notes - roses just as they are budding, not the dried rose character referenced in French tasting notes as rose fanée. This is not quite as together on the palate though, with the tannins appearing at the back not yet in harmony with the fruit. I tip it to come through with time in bottle. Drink from 2028-2038.”
