I am currently in vacation and found this gem on the wine list at the same price I can get the 2020 right now, so decided to spend more than intended and try it.
I must say that I was sceptic of Arnoux lachaux pricing but this made me understand part of the hype as it is absolutely not just a Bourgogne in any sense, also first time trying Pinot fin.
Intense nose of sweet red fruit, on the palate the fruit is very pure with almost some vosne spice to it, the only major downside to this wine is the fact that the tannins are quite present and drying on the finish and might survive the fruits.
I must say that I enjoyed the nose more than the palate on this. Will I buy it again a current pricing to drink at home, no… but glad I got to try it at a nice restaurant for 300 cad.

Remember writing in ’21 that it was the most expensive Pinot Fin I ever had, but that it was worth the price (€39).
The 2019 was excellent too, but the 2020 was not good…
I can try a glass of this at my local wine bar with Coravin for €39. Maybe I should. What restaurant was this in Canada btw?
