About this Wine
A refined Echézeaux Grand Cru from Les Rouges du Bas, showing red berries, cherry, fine spice, floral lift and an iron-tinged mineral frame. The 2021 vintage brings freshness, restraint and precision, shaped by a long élevage at a pivotal moment in Arnoux-Lachaux’s move towards ceramic ageing.

Tasting Notes
Echézeaux from Les Rouges du Bas, a well-placed climat in the middle of the Echézeaux slope. The 2021 vintage marks a pivotal moment for the domaine, with a long élevage in oak alongside Charles Lachaux’s growing move towards ceramic ageing.
In the glass, this is Echézeaux with elegance and quiet intensity rather than obvious weight. Red berries, cherry, fine spice and floral lift sit over a mineral, iron-tinged structure, giving the wine both perfume and shape. There is Grand Cru depth here, but the cooler 2021 vintage keeps everything precise, fresh and finely drawn.
This is one of the great signatures of Arnoux-Lachaux: a wine that carries the natural breadth of Echézeaux, but with the domaine’s unmistakable sense of lift, clarity and restraint.

The Plot
Les Rouges du Bas sits in the middle of the Echézeaux Grand Cru, with Arnoux-Lachaux farming around 0.9 hectares of east-facing vines planted in the 1930s. The rows run north to south, rooted in oxidised iron-rich soils that help bring colour, structure and a subtly mineral edge to the wine.
Echézeaux can be broad and powerful, but this parcel gives something more detailed and composed: Grand Cru scale, Vosne perfume and a fine savoury frame.
Technical Details
The 2021 vintage at Arnoux-Lachaux was handled with restraint, matching the cooler, more classical nature of the year. Macerations were gentle and short, followed by an extended 31-month élevage, with bottling in April 2024 and release in March 2025.
This was the final Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux vintage aged in oak before the full move to ceramic ageing from 2022 onwards. For Echézeaux Les Rouges, that means the wine keeps its Grand Cru depth and natural structure, but with freshness, perfume and vineyard character at the centre.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
This will benefit from time in the cellar. You can open it now if you enjoy youthful energy, but patience should bring more depth, harmony and complexity.
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.
