Jasper Morris: 91-94 Points

Deeper colour with a rich sensual nose but less detail less finesse. Purple fruit the start of chocolate notes lower acidity but saved by the refinement from the whole bunch and exceptional length. This is still a superb wine ? just a fraction less magical than the best in this exceptional cellar.

Wine Advocate: 92-94 Points

Notions of violets rose petals raspberries and cherries?complemented by hints of loamy soil and smoked meats?introduce Lachaux's 2019 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes a medium to full-bodied charming and enveloping wine that's lively and gourmand with powdery tannins and bright balancing acids. This is one of the more immediate premiers crus in the cellar.

Burghound: 91-93 Points

An exuberantly fresh nose is comprised of subtly spiced aromas of red and dark currant violet lavender and discreet sandalwood wisps. There is impressive mid-palate density to the lavish and seductively textured flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the caressing and once again sneaky long finish. Like several wines in the range this too needs to develop more depth and my predicted range accords the benefit of the doubt. As an aside I would make the same observation here that I made about the Procès in that this is a very fine example of what I consider to be a perfect example of a good but not particularly distinguished Vosne 1er.
