Côte de Nuits-Village 'Aux Montagnes'
Cote de Nuits-Villages
A small parcel under Charles Lachaux's own negociant label - the project born from his Aligote obsession, buying back grapes from friends who didn't want their fruit disappearing into a larger negociant's blend.
Vintages
- 2021
The smallest Burgundy vintage in thirty years, hit hard by spring frost. What survived is cool-climate, classical Burgundy: lighter, moderate in alcohol, with a firm mineral core - built for drinking sooner rather than for the very long haul, and always going to be hard to find given how little was made.
- 2020
Another warm year, but one that avoided 2018 and 2019's occasional over-ripeness. Excellent phenolic grip and linear acidity, widely considered the best vintage since 2017 for capturing real differences between terroirs.
- 2019
A standout across the board: warm, dry growing conditions delivered a rare combination of ripeness, concentration and the acidity to balance it, in both reds and whites.
