The score for 2019 Domaine Arnoux Lachaux Vosne Romanee Les Grands Suchots Premier Cru is 96+ from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Lachaux's 2019 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Grands Suchots has turned out brilliantly in bottle, wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of rose petals, red berries, warm spices and subtle savory bass notes. Full-bodied, perfumed and multidimensional, it's velvety and sensual, displaying immense concentration without weight, its layered core of fruit framed by lively acids and rich, powdery tannins, and concluding with a long, resonant finish. Charles Lachaux's meteoric ascent continues, and my prophesy several years ago (in one of my first articles in The Wine Advocate) as to the brightness of his future is well on the way to being realized. In the vineyards as in the cellar, Lachaux continues to push the boundaries, and it's immensely gratifying to see someone who considers that inheriting some of the greatest vineyards in the world imposes an obligation to take risks that others can't, rather than merely entitling him to a high bottle price. During several visits to the domaine this fall, I tasted both the bottled 2019s and the infant 2020s from barrel.
