Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Les Proces 2020

Les Procès in 2020 shows the domaine’s refined, site-driven style: a lifted bouquet of ripe red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, framed by rose petal, subtle spice and a whisper of forest floor. The palate is precise and vibrant, with fine-grained tannins, lively but balanced acidity and a stony, Côte de Nuits minerality that carries through the long, dry finish. It’s a poised, energetic expression of Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, excellent at the table with game or lamb. Drink now with a brief decant for aromatic lift, or cellar 8–15 years for greater silk and layered complexity.
