Arnoux-Lachaux Nuits-St.-Georges 1er cru Les Procès 2018

92-95 points Fine Wine Review: "Arnoux-Lachaux has become one of the most talked-about domaines in Burgundy with wines now fully in the new style and at greatly increased prices. Basically, for style, quality, and price think Domaine Leroy and Jean-Yves Bizot, two other domaines that coincidentally are also located in Vosne-Romanée.Spicy red fruit aromas. The mouth is deep with spicy dark fruits, intensity, length, elegance, and a silky texture. No hail here in 2018. 50 year-old vines. (4/11/20)"

92-94 points Jasper Morris, MW: "No hail here, fortunately. Attractive garnet colour, almost ‘Le vin vermeil’ of earlier times. Discreet nose, alpine strawberry and a little sturdy smokiness, with some underlying raspberry notes, and very good length with just an agreeable trace of acidity underlying. A touch of fresh liquorice and another outstandingly long finish. (Nov 2019)"

93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Notes of plums, wild berries, orange rind and coniferous forest floor introduce the 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Procès, a medium to full-bodied, layered and succulent wine that's supple and charming, with refined tannins and a lively spine of acidity that carries through the precise, mineral finish. This, too, is a fine success. This lieu-dit is located at mid-slope next to Les Pruliers just to the south of the town of Nuits-Saint-Georges. Drink: 2025-2050. (Feb 2020)"

92 points Stephen Brook (Decanter): "The domaine owns about half of this small premier cru close to the town. Unlike Les Poisets, it was spared hail damage in this vintage. The nose is packed with zesty red fruits and shows clarity and precision. It's concentrated yet delightfully fresh. There's ample grip and weight of fruit, good spiciness, and a compact structure. Assertive without being aggressive, it has sufficient acidity to give a long stylish finish. Drinking Window: 2022-2035. (Mar 2020)"
