Burgundy | 4 | 91 (VN) | HK$18,310.00 | |||||
Vinous (91)The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Village has a beautifully defined bouquet with red cherries, raspberry and light briary scents with wonderful mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins, very focused and smooth, great transparency here with a touch of piquancy on the finish. This is a sublime Village Cru. |

Wine Advocate (90+)Lachaux's 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges Village is also built for the cellar, offering up aromas of sweet red berries, plums and pomegranate with subtle hints of petals and orange zest. Medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with a dense, compact core of fruit framed by sweet structuring tannins, it concludes with a long, saline finish. |

Burgundy | 1 | 89-91 (VN) | HK$68,265.00 | |||||
Vinous (89-91)(50% vendange entier; 30% new oak; from vines in excess of 60 years of age): Healthy dark red with ruby tones. Lovely floral, spicy and herbal high notes to the aromas of black raspberry and crushed stone. Chewy and soil-driven, with red berry flavors enlivened by mineral-driven acidity. This nicely concentrated wine finishes serious, classic and dry but not at all hard. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2018 Nuit Saint-Georges Les Poisets comes from 0.7 hectares that this year produced just five barrels due to hail (14hl/ha). The nose feels a little disjointed at the moment, missing the focus that imbues Lachaux’s other 2018s. It needs to find more harmony during its élevage. The palate is medium-bodied with wild strawberry and cranberry fruit, firm tannins and a very pretty, pure finish that maybe just misses the length of other recent vintages I have tasted. |

Burgundy | 2 | 90 (VN) | HK$5,000.00 | |||||
Vinous (90)The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Poisets, which was hailed 2018 and therefore pruned short to replenish its vigour in 2019, was cropped at 15hl/ha. It has a fresh, slightly earthy bouquet with dark berry fruit, Earl Grey and light cedar scents. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity, quite pliant on the mouth with a hint of white pepper towards the finish with sour cherry on the aftertaste. Fine. |

Burgundy | 1 | 92+ (VN) | HK$14,300.00 | |||||
Vinous (92+)Good deep red. Bright, less evolved aromas of black plum, currant and mint. Juicy, minty and fruit-driven; quite primary for the vintage. Lovely penetrating acids give the wine very good delineation and spine. Very long, pure finish features even, slow-mounting tannins and excellent vinosity and grip. |

Burgundy | 1 | 96 (BH) | HK$87,130.00 | |||||
Burghound (96)There is an all-but-invisible touch of brett present on the otherwise pretty and beautifully layered nose that features notes of various dark berries, violets and a wide range of spice elements. The gorgeously refined middle weight flavors possess a suave and silky mouth feel before culminating in a strikingly complex finish that seems to dance across the palate while delivering flat out huge length. This is still moderately firm yet with air it could easily be enjoyed now. Note that my score offers the benefit of the doubt regarding the brett as I have no other recent notes and thus I can't say whether this bottle was entirely representative. |

Wine Advocate (95)Naturally Lachaux’s 2008 Romanee Saint-Vivant bats last in the Arnoux line-up, but in addition, this vintage it puts every wine that came before it in the collection into perspective, and all but the Reignots in the shade (not that as a group these weren’t already noir enough Pinots). Sumptuous black fruits accented by fruit pit piquancy; complex if to some extent ineffable, decadent forest floor and mineral notes; exotic spices, rich chocolate, and heady floral perfume – all are on display in this seamlessly-rich, already velvet-textured beauty whose structure is implicit but deeply-buried. Yet there is not an ounce of superfluous fat or a bit of superficial sweetness, and there is that vibratory resonance possessed by the exceptional wines of this vintage. There are around 140 cases of this – not a small quantity by the standards of top-notch grand cru Burgundy – though of course a bottle will cost you dearly. I suspect it will be among the last 2008s to still be seducing a few lucky wine lovers 25 or more years from now. |

Burgundy | 3 | 95+ (VN) | HK$12,170.00 | |||||
Vinous (95+)Good full red. Vibrant perfume of raspberry, spices and minerals. Boasts outstanding dark berry intensity, with powerful crushed-stone minerality and a saline quality giving great energy and tension to the middle palate. Finishes with remarkable rising length, utterly suave tannins and superb lift. Like the Suchots, this is already wonderfully aromatic but is built for a decade or two of improvement in bottle. |

Burghound (96)The strikingly elegant nose offers the most complexity of these 2012s with its well-layered aromas of spice, plum, violet, dark cherry and sandalwood. There is a beguilingly velvety texture to the lightly mineral-driven medium weight flavors that possess plenty of mouth coating dry extract before terminating in a firm and impeccably well-balanced finish. Note that this classy beauty will also require ample patience. |

Burgundy | 1 | 93+ (VN) | HK$8,700.00 | |||||
Vinous (93+)(50% vendange entier; 100% new oak; bottled the same day as the Suchots, in May of 2015): Bright dark red. Tighter and darker on the nose than the Suchots, hinting at black fruits, licorice, minerals and flowers. Also less sweet in the mouth but already delivers outstanding tension and definition, with the dark fruit and bitter chocolate flavors complicated by an element of noble herbs. The superb palate-staining finish features firm, suave tannins and outstanding subtle persistence. This aristocratic wine will need more patience than the Suchots but should ultimately surpass it. |

Wine Advocate (98)The 2018 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is showing brilliantly, unfurling in the glass with a youthfully reserved bouquet of rose petals, raspberries, sweet soil tones, bergamot, smoked tea and musk. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's deep and concentrated, with a tightly wound core, lively acids and supple, powdery tannins, concluding with a resonant finish. This is Romanée-Saint-Vivant at its most elegant and sensual, and even if a decade of bottle age is in order, its superb quality is already glaringly apparent. |

Burgundy | 1 | 89+ (VN) | HK$34,135.00 | |||||
Vinous (89+)Medium red. Raspberry, currant, plum, chocolate and espresso on the nose, with a leesy complexity. Sweet and fleshy but fresh, with good underlying mineral spine. Builds slowly on the back. A suave, subtle wine that should develop nicely in bottle. |

Burgundy | 2 | 92-94 (VN) | HK$4,755.00 | |||||
Vinous (92-94)(just two and a half barrels made) Deep, bright red. Subdued but vibrant aromas of black raspberry, mint and bitter chocolate. Suave, silky and weightless, with lovely finesse and a penetrating quality to the flavors of dark fruits and crushed stone. Very complex, subtle wine with excellent definition and purity. Finishes with a mounting floral perfume. |

Vinous (93+)Healthy dark red. Sexy, soil-driven nose melds raspberry, spices, herbs and smoky minerals. Plush, fine-grained and sweet yet somehow light on its feet; like the 2016 version, this has a very high pH around 3.9 but its savory minerality and stem element give it sufficient energy and lift. A wonderfully seamless ripe-but-dry wine with a very long, rising finish featuring refined tannins and lingering black cherry and licorice notes. |

Vinous (93)The 2016 Vosne-Romanée Aux Reignots 1er Cru comes from a tiny 0.2-ha parcel. It has a vivacious and perfumed bouquet, damp earth and black stewed tea developing with time. The palate is resplendent with raspberry and cranberry fruit, refined with edgy tannin and an exceedingly sustained finish that lasts for more than 60 seconds. The nobility of this Premier Cru, just above La Romanée, really shines through. |

Burgundy | 1 | 94-96 (VN) | HK$21,740.00 | |||||
Vinous (94-96)The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Aux Reignots 1er Cru expresses the whole-bunch contribution as much as any other 2018 from Lachaux. It is almost Dujac-like in style, displaying fine delineation and a compelling earthy quality. The well-balanced palate is very tight at the moment, offering strict tannins and modest depth. Linear and precise, revealing hints of brown spice and cola toward the complex finish. Quite an uncompromising wine in some ways, but one that is utterly absorbing. Just two barrels made. |

There is a wealth of great French wine outside the ‘Big 4’ (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and Rhone). The Languedoc Roussillon with it’s herby, robust Mediterranean reds, Provence with its pale, vinous roses, Loire with its flinty Sauvignons, crunchy Cabernet Francs, and endlessly fascinating Chenins, Jura with its old fashioned curiosities… the list goes on. Tradition and terroir are the veins running through them all, making French wines still the most emulated in the world.
