About this Wine
Charles’ holding in Les Chaumes runs from the very top of the vineyard to its base, sitting immediately below La Tâche. The vines are around 65 years old, and the wine has exactly the finesse you’d hope for from such a site: perfumed, mineral and beautifully composed.
2022 also marks the Domaine’s first vintage raised entirely in ceramic.
Please note: We work directly with the Domaine, therefore all wines are available strictly on allocation. The wines are intended for drinking, not trading and are priced accordingly.

Tasting Notes
Powdery tannins, redcurrant, rose petal and mineral precision from old vines directly below La Tâche.
Charles’ holding in Les Chaumes runs from the very top of the vineyard down to its base, sitting just below the iconic La Tâche. The vines here are around 65 years old, and they bring a natural finesse and grace to the wine.
The tannins are light and powdery, giving the wine an immediate charm. A gentle decant only helps it find its rhythm.
There’s a clear mineral core running through the palate, balanced by fresh red fruits, with redcurrant quietly weaving its way into the mix.
On the nose, fresh rose petals lift everything, adding perfume and poise.
This is Premier Cru Vosne at its most inviting. Elegant, detailed and effortlessly delicious.
And in 2022, that refinement comes through with unusual clarity. This was the first vintage in which the entire Arnoux-Lachaux range was raised entirely in ceramic, allowing the perfume, fruit and texture of the wine to come through without the imprint of oak.

The Plot
Les Chaumes sits directly below La Tâche, one of the most iconic sites in Vosne-Romanée.
Charles’ holding stretches from the very top of the vineyard to its base, giving him a broad expression of the slope rather than a narrow slice of it. The vines are around 65 years old.
That position and vine age help explain the character of the wine: there is structure, but it is carried with finesse. Mineral drive runs through the palate, while the fruit stays fresh and lifted rather than dense or heavy.
Technical Details
2022 marks a major turning point at Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux: the first vintage in which every wine from the domaine was raised entirely in ceramic.
The wines spent an extended 36 months in neutral Clayver ceramic vessels before bottling. By removing the aromatic and structural influence of oak, Charles is aiming for a more direct expression of fruit, texture and site.
Whole grapes remain central to the winemaking, while the vineyard work centres around tall, untrimmed vines and permanent vegetation between the rows.
In Les Chaumes, the ceramic élevage feels especially well matched to the vineyard. This is naturally one of the more graceful and perfumed expressions in the range, and the absence of oak leaves its rose-petal perfume, red fruit, mineral core and fine powdery tannins completely exposed.

Discover Their Story

Reading back through my notes, one word recurs like a heartbeat: perfume. Not as a throwaway cliché, but as a presence that truly rises from the glass. These 2022s may still be infants, but the leap forward Charles and the team have achieved is astonishing.

FAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now, but a little patience could make it even more rewarding. Open one soon, then tuck another away if you want to watch it develop.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.
What if I’m not sure this is my style?
Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
