Burgundy Insights from the Winehog

Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux, Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes 2015

By -

The Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes is from a relatively large plot in the center of Les Chaumes running from bottom to top below Malconsorts. As many other wines from this vineyard in this vintage it offers a generous fruit and a vibrant energy. The nose offer ripe and juicy red and dark berry fruit – notes of raspberries, red currant and strawberries – brought forward by a nice deep earthy minerality, On the palate nice generous fruit – nice tension between some more weighty darker fruit and the fresh pomegranate and red currant notes. It’s ripe yet fresh and very charming … this a hedonistic glass and not a academic exercise .. very gratifying.

Vins d’émotion – wines that offer joy and hedonistic thrills

The principle with vins d’émotion is that they bring you extraordinary joy and hedonistic thrills.  A wine can be great, and at the same time not quite be a vin d’émotion.

All wines that evoke these emotional responses deserve a recommendation, and I have created four levels of emotional recommendation: from the true and rare vin d’émotion to wines with some emotional potential.
