Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux, Nuits-Saint-Georges 2015

By

The Nuits-Saint-Georges 2015 is a blend of several different vineyards – with the majority of the area located north of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The bouquet offer rich and ripe fruit – quite floral (using 70% whole cluster) – with a nice earthy NSG character. On the palate quite weighty and generous with a nice fruit driven mid-palate only 15% new oak is used here. Not quite as vibrant and sharp as the two other villages.
