By now everyone knows the name of Charles Lachaux, quickly becoming a Burgundy legend, and while 2017 is the vintage where Charles’ stylistic changes are known to take full effect, by 2013 such changes had already begun once he took the reigns the prior year—more judicial use of new oak, increasing amounts of whole clusters each subsequent vintage, higher and denser canopies, just to mention a few. His 2019 vintage is what did it for me. Simply incredible wines.

But at age 12, 2013 Chaumes, 50% whole cluster and 50% new oak is showing beautifully after some required air, with a seductively elegant perfume, terrific fruit density and concentration for the vintage, and a long mineral, spice and saline inflicted finale. Pre-2017, I think the Vosne bottlings are the best, but I think they need at least 10 years to absorb the oak. But now, everything’s great, even on release! — 3 months ago

15 years. Cardamom, tons of tannins left may be too much? I fear this will turn into either something special 10 years from now or loose it. Lime, crushed marble, port. Kind of rough to taste right now very spicy. — 2 years ago

From a family-run Vosne Romanee based producer.

The nose shows crunchy red cherry and raspberry, edged with sweet spice and a faint toasty note. On the palate, the fruit is vivid and forward, with firm, fresh acidity and polished tannins giving a slightly New World–leaning gloss, by Burgundy standards. Less earthy than classic Vosne at this stage, it finishes clean and energetic. Needs at least another 4-5 years to come together, though 2023 vintage is generally considered approachable young. — 3 months ago

This was “Smokin” & WOTN in our Blind Tasting! Classic Vosne nose aromatics & silky smooth! From vines planted in 1918 & 1919; Kudos & Cheers 🍇🍷👍🏻👏🏻
Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy Note:
“25% whole bunch vinification. Imperial purple and black. Planted 1918 and 1919. Edouard notes that there is a bench of hard rock in the middle of the plot, where it is hard to get the pickets in. Similar vibrant purple to the other 1ers crus and a bundle of energy on the nose. Rich plump middle with a fine finish, good tannins, and extra length. This is an extremely fine Chaumes.”Tasted: March 2020-93-95pts. — 8 months ago

A great noise. Really poised vine fruit with spice, poached pear. Sweet plum and black cherry. Violets and some spice. Very classy. More exciting on the nose than the palate — 5 months ago

Lighter style for Cathiard. Floral with rose petal, cranberry, potpourri overtones. Good to drink now while I wait for the Vosne. — 2 years ago
