Critic Scores

98 // Jasper Morris MW

""Perfect fresh mid red to purple in colour. There is an extra distinction to the bouquet, with a touch of spice and a little bit of blood orange. Very nuanced this year. Sweetly harmonious across the middle of the palate, iron-rich at the finish, supple and extremely persistent. Long, harmonious, with a silky touch.""

95 // Decanter

""This 1.65ha Lamarche monopole next to La Tâche was planted 40 years ago. Lamarche has destemmed the fruit and gently fermented this with an eye toward restraint, before ageing over two winters in cask (80% new). The result has a seductive, pronounced red and black fruit character on the attack, with notes of liquorice and smoke. The wine has pleasant heft, but there are no rough edges or heaviness and the substantial extract is balanced by good, fresh acidity. Lovely in every respect.""

95 // Allen Meadows

""An elegant mix of upper and medium register aromas centers mostly on the red side of the fruit spectrum along with hints of exotic tea, spice and pretty floral elements along with a hint of menthol. There is lovely detail and underlying tension to the moderately powerful medium-bodied flavors that possess plenty of punch on the dusty and youthfully austere finish that exhibits first-rate length. This beautifully balanced effort is a lovely combination of power and refinement and a wine that will also need extended aging though not as much as the Grands Ech. *Don't Miss!*""

94 // Neal Martin

""The 2019 La Grande Rue Grand Cru is aromatically tailored in a similar vein to the domaine’s other Grand Crus: ethereal and floral in style with rose-petal-infused red fruit, the quintessential Pinoté, and hints of crushed rock developing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins, cohesive and poised, gaining weight with aeration toward a very pixelated finish and leaving a ferrous aftertaste. Very fine, very feminine.""

Description

Burgundy Domaines such as this are a rare find – even more exceptional because the vineyard holdings here are almost entirely made up of Grand Cru and Premier Cru parcels in Vosne/Echézeaux.
La Grande Rue runs between La Tâche and Romanée-Conti in the heart of Vosne-Romanée and was elevated to Grand Cru status in 1989. The vineyard has been in the Lamarche family since the 1930s, acquired as a dowry and maintained as a premier cru until its promotion. It remains one of the most discreet but prestigious plots in the Côte de Nuits, known for its finesse, perfume and understated power.
The 2019 vintage is a fine example of Nicole Lamarche’s increasingly precise and terroir-focused approach. Ripe but not overdone, this shows lifted red fruit, florals, and a subtle savoury edge. The texture is seamless – silky and long – with a quiet intensity that builds with time in the glass. A grand cru of grace and detail from a vineyard that continues to reward close attention.

Domaine-Francois-Lamarche

Domaine Francois Lamarche has a history which begins 6 generations ago, with the Lamarche Family originally settling in the village of Vosne Romanee in 1740. Over the following 250+ years Lamarche has steadily increased their vineyard holdings with the largest coup occurring in 1933 when Henri Lamarche inherited La Grand Rue. This monople site in Vosne Romanee was nominated for promotion to Grand Cru status by the INAO (Institut national de l'origine et de la qualite) in 1988 and this degree was passed in 1992. This historic decision created the 4th Grand Cru "Monopole" of Vosne Romanee, meaning Lamarche has become one of only 3 estates to hold Monopolies in Vosne Romanee - alongside Ultra-Premium Icons Domaine de la Romanee Conti & Domaine du Comte Liger Belair. Under the careful watch of Nicole & Nathalie Lamarche many critics believe this estate is currently producing it's best wines ever.
