Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux and Domaine Charles Lachaux
Same hands. Different intent.
At a glance, these two labels bear the same last name, the same cellar, and the same guiding mind. But look closer and you’ll find two distinct worlds—one rooted in legacy, the other in personal conviction.
Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux is the estate: a historic 14.5-hectare domaine stewarded today by Charles Lachaux, whose quiet revolution in the vineyard has transformed the family’s already respected holdings into some of the most sought-after wines in Burgundy. With regenerative farming, vertical pressing, and whole-cluster fermentations, Charles has elevated these wines into a new class.
Clos des Corvées Pagets is one of the domaine’s oldest holdings, a 0.6-hectare premier cru parcel with vines planted in the 1940s. Located at the southern edge of the appellation near the village of Prémeaux-Prissey, the site is rich in rock and limestone, giving the wine its signature tension and verticality. The 2021 was fermented with 100% whole clusters, aged in barrel (20% new), then finished with a brief rest in tank before bottling.
This is a wine of precision and restraint: dark berries, violet, and peppery spice meet crushed stone and fine, chalky tannins. It’s powerful, but never heavy—an earthy, expressive snapshot of a site that speaks clearly in the hands of one of Burgundy’s most exciting winemakers.
