Pascal Lachaux at Domaine Robert Arnoux 2006

Away from running Arnoux, Pascal continues to do a bit on the side but entirely to everyone’s approval. Small négociant operations like this have become very popular and competition for the best fruit is fierce. Fortunately, Pascal is clearly held in extremely high regard by his fellow growers and has once again assembled a mouthwatering selection of some of the greatest appellations. In many ways, he says he likes these 2006s more than the 2005s, finding them fruitier and fresher and even though he has a soft spot for the 2000s, he finds these even better.

Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses 2006

Quite how Pascal has found Amoureuses one can only wonder! This celebrated cru gives rise to some of the most sensual and seductive wines in the Côte and this is clearly purring under Pascal’s gentle caress. Indulgent and exciting. Drink from 2011.

Clos St Denis Grand Cru 2006

Open, opulent and fleshy, this shows little black fruits, abundant energy, a lick of creamy oak and a rather graceful finale. Drink from 2012.

£521.41 per 6 - add to basket

 

Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2006

A very aromatic nose of rose petal and a little spice gives way to a palate dominated by leather, rich plummy fruit and a terrific length of flavour. Clean, pure and with no rough edges, this is already showing quiet accomplishment. Drink from 2012.

Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2006

Very impressive, this is Bonnes-Mares at its most exuberant. Bold, rich and brawny, this is a Grand Cru of an impressive scale but there is no sign of it coming off the rails, rather it is kept in check by a lovely persistent mineral thread running through it. Drink from 2014.

Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru 2006

Black fruit, spice and fruit compote dominate the nose. The palate is dense, concentrated and energetic and on the beautiful clean, long finish, the class is there for all to see. Terrific. Drink from 2014.
