The Winery
Lamarche
Domaine Lamarche is family affair ran by sisters Nicole and Nathalie Lamarche who inherited the estate from their father François. Over several generations, the portfolio has been mastered to perfection with the production of 14 different wines including their monopole production: La Grand Rue. Many wines they produce are within the Vosne-Romanée district many of which being from famous Grand Cru sites. The domaine is considered top-tier among elite critics with their reputation being that they create wines through their terroir rather than power. Clive Coates (MW) once mentioned Lamarche as being one of his favorite Burgundies.
Tasting Notes
- BH92–94
- As pretty as the Clos de Vougeot is aromatically, this is a step up and it's also somewhat surprising as to how expressive and airy the nose is here as well with stylish and very pure red berry, earth and wonderfully sexy spice notes that also add an understated complexity to the big, robust and tautly structured and well-muscled flavors oozing with mid-palate sap that at present completely buffers the dusty tannic spine that should enable this to age gracefully for at least a decade, perhaps longer. The best wine in the range. Range:92-94
