2017 Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, Les Proces 1x750ml

Vinous 90

The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Procès, which includes 50% whole bunches, has a very feminine, pure red cherry and crushed strawberry bouquet that develops flinty scents with aeration. The medium-bodied palate displays supple tannin and a fine bead of acidity, and feels quite compact toward the finish; it will benefit from two or three years in bottle. Excellent.

Robert Parker 91

Bursting with aromas of red berries, candied peel, peony and rose petal, the 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Proces is medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a deep, layered core, excellent volume and amplitude and a chassis of fine-grained, chalky tannins that only makes itself felt on the fragrant finish. It’s an elegant wine that is far from the stereotype of Nuits-Saint-Georges. [William Kelley, 11/29/2018]
