Arnoux-Lachaux Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes 2022

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. From Clayver, this looked very pretty on the nose, while the palate was deep, structured, and long. Will likely need time.
