Côte de Nuits 2006 on the Robert Parker Wine Advocate vintage chart
Category: Côte de Nuits, 1er Cru, Burgundy, France, Pinot Noir, Red, Wine
Romanée-Saint-Vivant 2006 from Domaine Robert Arnoux
The domaine’s Romanée-Saint-Vivant parcel measures 0.34 ha; the domaine has farmed it since 1927 or 1928. It lies in the lower part of the appellation, across from La Grande Rue. Romanée-Saint-Vivant is a grand cru of Vosne-Romanée in the Côte de Nuits, Burgundy. This 0.75 L bottle is a dry red made from Pinot Noir.
Robert Arnoux label, 2006 vintage
The domaine was founded in 1858 by Charles Arnoux and Renée Salbreux as Domaine Arnoux-Salbreux. Robert Arnoux ran it in the 20th century and died in 1995. Pascal Lachaux, who married Robert Arnoux’s daughter Florence, arrived in 1987 and continued the work.
In 2007 the domaine was renamed Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux. The 2006 therefore carries the Robert Arnoux name, which belongs to the vintages before the change. Charles Lachaux, son of Pascal and Florence, made his first vintage in 2012.
All new oak and whole destemming
The domaine ages its grand cru wines about 16 months in French oak, 100% new. All grapes are destemmed, a pre-fermentation maceration is used, only natural yeasts start the fermentations, and vinification lasts 15 to 22 days.
2006: an irregular year on the Wine Advocate chart
The Robert Parker Wine Advocate vintage chart gives Côte de Nuits red 2006 a score of 89 with the letter I, which stands for an irregular vintage.
Our suggested drinking window for this bottle runs from 2012 to 2032, so it is now inside that window.
