Charles Lachaux is the Côte de Nuits winemaker to bet on right now. Only in his thirties, he already has a strong following among professional critics, who praise his work inspired by the methods of Lalou Bize-Leroy. For the record, Charles Lachaux is the sixth generation to head this family estate of around 15 hectares in Vosne-Romanée. With the help of his mother Florence, he carefully cultivates his vines using biodynamic methods in some of Vosne-Romanée's finest appellations, including Echezeaux, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Clos-de-Vougeot and Latricières-Chambertin. A plough horse works the soil to encourage local life. Keen to produce wines that reflect the terroir, he makes some very fine, silky wines from whole grapes and short vatting periods.
