Burgundy Producer Rejects Michelin’s Inaugural Winery Rating

The Drinks Business reports that Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux has asked to be removed from Michelin’s inaugural Grape Selection after receiving a one-grape rating. The new Burgundy guide assesses 94 estates, awarding nine producers three grapes, but Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux said it had not submitted wines for reviews or ratings since 2020 and objected to being included without its participation, prompting wider debate about consent and methodology in wine criticism.
