Charles Lachaux La Croix Blanches 2023
Drink the Charles Lachaux La Croix Blanche 2023 between now and 2030, while the fruit still leads. Because it comes from a single 0.35 ha parcel of Pinot Noir planted in the 1970s, this Bourgogne Rouge carries more depth than the appellation suggests. The grapes are fermented as 100% whole clusters, aged twelve months in older barrels and bottled unfined and unfiltered. As a result, the style leans on fruit and texture rather than oak.

Charles Lachaux
Charles Lachaux has run Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux in Vosne-Romanée since 2015. Alongside it, he makes a micro-négoce under his own name, which began with Aligoté after the example of his mentor Lalou Bize-Leroy. The Lachaux team picks all the fruit, and the winemaking follows the domaine’s. However, the négoce wines are bottled after a little under a year instead of eighteen months, so they show their fruit earlier.
Terroir
The parcel covers 0.35 ha in the northern part of Vosne-Romanée, planted to Pinot Noir in the 1970s. The soils are stony, pale and well drained, so water does not accumulate around the roots. Because the vines are old, they root deep and give moderate yields. Although the wine is labelled Bourgogne, the site lies within the Vosne-Romanée commune.
What others say after opening the bottle
I like that I can buy good wines here without allocations. The bottles I’ve opened were exactly where they needed to be. Jannes his advice felt honest and personal, which helped me decide. Delivery was careful and straightforward. K. Loesberg
I spoke with Jannes before ordering because I wanted additional photos of the bottle, and that gave me confidence. The wine was ready to drink. Being able to buy single bottles for the occasion instead of full cases suits me well. Everything arrived perfect. T. Driessen
What I appreciate most is not having to guess anymore. I prefer to buy wines that are in the middel of their drinking window. Jannes's guidance was calm and helpful, and the delivery was handled with care. J. Annaert
Jannes helped me choose for a special food pairing, and the whole process felt easy and trustworthy. I don’t have a cellar to store wines for years. Buying loose bottles in their drinking window is a big advantage. Shipping was good. B. Denruyter
After opening too many wines too early in the past, this feels different. The timing has been spot on. I like the freedom of buying without allocations and choosing single bottles. Delivery has been consistently good. R. Bontemps
The advice from Jannes made the selection feel personal, not generic. The wine I ordered for Christmas was exactly as expected. I didn’t need a full case, so buying individual bottles works well. Everything arrived safely and on time. D. Smits
Great to enjoy wines without second-guessing. Jannes his advice helped narrow things down, and I appreciate being able to order just a few bottles. Delivery is good, quick and well handled. W. Snijders
This suits how I drink wine now. I don’t want to wait years or buy cases. The bottles arrive ready, the advice is solid, and the process feels dependable from start to finish. A. van Kempen

Private Access, Without the Noise
Beyond the public selection, I occasionally source wines available in very small quantities — offered privately, or never formally listed. Through the Club Grandcru WhatsApp channel, these bottles are shared directly and selectively: mature vintages, single parcels, and bottles that never reach the open market. Early access is reserved for members.
