This wine has long been one of the finest examples of Bourgogne AOC thanks to the quality of terroirs, plant material and farming practices. It comes from seven Pinot Fin (non-clonal Pinot) parcels, 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 low yields of rich, concentrated juice. Approximately half of this vintage is from Chambolle-Musigny (Les Bon Batons) and a quarter each from Vosne-Romanée (Les Croix Blanches) and Nuits-Saint-Georges (Les Caillots and Grand Chaillot). Cropped at a mind-blowingly low 15 hectolitres per hectare, this is nonetheless Lachaux's highest-yielding cuvée from 2020! It was vinified with 100% whole bunches and raised exclusively in mature barrels.
