Chubby Appreciation: 92/100

Professional Rating: ST - 90/100, BH - 92/100, JR - 17.5/100, CT - 92/100

Appearance: bright ruby

Aroma: red pinot fruits aroma, floral scented, a bit of spices

Palate: medium bodied with fine volume of juicy red berries and blue berries forward. fruit seems to dominate rather than oak. lively with charming complexity. well balance.

Beauty and elegant in style. It possesses some heavy body but not really overwhelming. Arnoux-Lachaux Les Chaumes 2007 is drinking wonderfully now but yet the life span is still bright ahead. I like the purity and balance of this bottle which perhaps represents the charm of this terroir without forcefully driven. Shall indeed enjoy more of this.
