About this Wine
A serious and refined Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, showing red and dark berry fruit, fine spice, earthy depth and firm mineral structure. The 2021 vintage brings freshness and restraint, with an extended élevage that reflects Arnoux-Lachaux’s careful move towards ceramic ageing.

Tasting Notes
This is not Nuits-Saint-Georges built on weight or force. Clos des Corvées Pagets is firm, precise and mineral, with red and dark berry fruit, fine spice, earthy detail and the natural grip of the village held in a more elegant frame. There is seriousness here, but also lift, showing the lighter, more finely etched side of Charles Lachaux’s work. The 2021 vintage marks a pivotal moment at Arnoux-Lachaux, with the wines raised through a long élevage in oak alongside the domaine’s growing move towards ceramic ageing.

The Plot
Clos des Corvées Pagets sits in the Premeaux sector, south of Nuits-Saint-Georges, within the historic Aux Corvées area. Arnoux-Lachaux’s holding is small, around 0.55 hectares, and has long been one of the domaine’s more distinctive Premier Cru sites.
This is a vineyard that gives structure and presence, but in 2021 it speaks with more restraint. The result is a wine with savoury depth, mineral tension and the firm, composed character that makes Nuits-Saint-Georges so compelling.
Technical Details
The 2021 vintage was an important turning point at Arnoux-Lachaux, marking the final release aged in oak before Charles Lachaux moved fully to ceramic from 2022 onwards. In this cooler, more classical year, the wines were handled gently, with short 6-9 day macerations and an extended 31-month élevage before bottling in April 2024.

FAQs
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.
