The new 2017's from a wonderful but tiny domaine in Vosne-Romanee
Cacheux was once a single domaine in Vosne-Romanée, but in 2005 two sisters married two brothers and the domaine was split. Today there is Domaine Jacques Cacheux and Domaine Rene Cacheux.
I visited Domaine Rene Cacheux early last year to taste their 2016's. It is a tiny domaine of just 3.26 hectares but they have some lovely vineyards in and around Vosne-Romanee. The two jewels are the Premier Crus Les Suchots and Les Beaux-Monts.
They are two top 1ers, perhaps only trumped by Cros Parantoux and Les Malconsorts.
We imported the 2016's and they proved very popular - we have only a tiny amount of some wines still in stock.
Overnight we received pricing and availability for the new 2017 vintage. Quantities are a little larger this year which is good.
In addition to the gorgeous Vosne 1er Crus we have a little of the Vosne Villages and the wonderfully sited Chambolle-Musigny Les Argillieres. This vineyard is right alongside the Grand Cru Les Musigny. If you love Musigny you have to grab some of this!
I should mention one factor that makes Cacheux's Premier Cru holdings superior to most. It is their superb location within the climats. His Suchots comprises two parcels - one beside Romanee-St-Vivant, the other adjoining Echezeaux. His single parcel of Beaux Monts also boasts a tremendous position right up against Echezeaux Les Loachausses. The wines produced are very special as anyone who has tasted the 2016's will know.
We are too early for tasting notes for the 2017's. As such I am going to offer all wines at a 25% Pre Arrival Discount instead of the usual 15%. If you wish to secure the extra 10% get your order in quickly - especially if you want the Premier Crus and Chambolle-Musigny.
Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Suchots 2017
Landed Price $283.95
Special Pre Arrival Price $212.95
Cacheux has two parcels of Les Suchots. One is 3 metres from Romanee-St-Vivant (I am told opposite Domaine Leroy's Romanee-St-Vivant!), the other touches Echezeaux. The vines were planted in the 1950's and 1980's.
Suchots is one of the most popular Premier Crus of Vosne-Romanee combining wonderful aromatics with a luxurious palate.
Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts 2017
Landed Price $283.95
Special Pre Arrival Price $212.95
 Cacheux has a single 0.18 hectare holding of Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts. It is located just centimetares from Grand Cru Echezeaux. The vines here are 60+ years old. An exceptional parcel producing a grand example of this fine Premier Cru.
Domaine Rene Cacheux Vosne-Romanee 2017
Landed Price $164.95
Special Pre Arrival Price $123.95
 Cacheux's Vosne Romanee Villages holdings total 0.73 hectares and are in the vineyards Aux Croix Blanche and Les Saules. The vine age here is almost 30 years. The wine produced is of the same style as the Premier Crus but with a little less intensity.
Domaine Rene Cacheux Chambolle-Musigny Les Argillieres 2017
Landed Price $164.95
Special Pre Arrival Price $123.95
 Cacheux's 2017 Chambolle-Musigny comes from the vineyard Les Argillieres. This is an exceptional site lying right alongside the Grand Cru Les Musigny. The domaine owns 0.57 hectares with a vine age approaching 50 years. These factors combine to make for an exceptional wine.
Bourgogne Rouge Les Champs d'Argent 2017
Normally $61.95
Special Pre Arrival Price $46.50
Case of 12 Bottles $557.55
The domaine's Bourgogne comes from a single site within Vosne-Romanee - Les Champs d'Argent.
They only have 0.4 hectares so production is small. Around 10% new oak is used in the elevage.
This is a superior Bourgogne from a small hands-on maker with wonderfully sited vines.
