From an enclave within Aux Corvées, Lachaux's 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos des Corvées Pagets was hailed on three times and yielded only 15 hectoliters per hectare, but the wine has turned out brilliantly, unwinding in the glass with notes of orange rind, ripe red berries and sweet soil tones, framed by a deft touch of oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and complete, it's lively and perfumed, concluding with a long and precise finish. Despite the hail, there's not even the remotest suggestion of tannic asperity.
