Histoire du domaine
The estate was founded in Vosne-Romanée in 1858, following the union of the Arnoux and Salbreux winegrowing families. It subsequently took the name Domaine Robert Arnoux when Robert Arnoux took over the estate in 1957 following the death of his father, Charles Arnoux. Robert Arnoux developed the estate’s in-house bottling operations from the late 1950s and early 1960s onwards. Following his death in February 1995, his daughter Florence Arnoux and her husband Pascal Lachaux continued to run the estate. The estate took the name Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux from the 2007 vintage onwards. Charles Lachaux joined the family business in 2011 and has been in charge of winemaking since the 2012 vintage. Under his leadership, the estate has adopted practices including biodynamics, eco-grazing, goblet pruning, higher trellising and the cessation of leaf removal. Since 2012, winemaking has been carried out using whole bunches, with short vatting periods and minimal intervention. From the 2022 harvest onwards, the estate has replaced oak barrels with stoneware vessels for ageing.

Histoire de la parcelle
The climat appears in the regulatory demarcation of the AOC Vosne-Romanée under the name "Les Rouges", with "Les Rouges du Dessus" as the corresponding lieu-dit. Historical classifications reported do not include it in Jules Lavalle, but place it in the second class in the 1860 classification by the Comité d'agriculture et de viticulture de l'arrondissement de Beaune, and subsequently in Camille Rodier in 1920.
