2017 | Francois Lamarche | La Grand Rue

A fine clear even crimson colour. The fruit is very fine-bodied, quite ripe, interesting. Gorgeous succulent deep red fruit with a velvet texture, fine clean acidity just short of volatile, long and charming. Balanced throughout, fairly persistent.

Reviews:

• Vinous: The 2017 La Grande Rue has a deep, introspective bouquet, offering more black fruit than red; touches of oyster shell and seaweed percolate through with time. The palate is where the quality shines through, in the filigreed tannins and the wonderful sense of symmetry.

• Jasper Morris: A fine clear even crimson colour. The fruit is very fine-bodied, quite ripe, interesting. Gorgeous succulent deep red fruit with a velvet texture, fine clean acidity just short of volatile, long and charming. Balanced throughout, fairly persistent.

Producer Information

Since 1797, on the prestigious terroirs of Vosne-Romanée and Vougeot, the vineyards have offered the Estate their precious fruit. From these terroirs , Domaine Francois Lamarche produces fourteen different wines, including la Grande Rue, a monopole of the Estate, one of the rare grands crus of Vosne-Romanée. The Lamarche Estate, which now boasts a total surface area of nearly 28 acres, is a family firm, whose origin goes back several generations. Integrated viticulture has been adopted for all the vineyards, and both the terroir and history are expressed in the wines. They all have in common that elegance which combines exceptional balance and a delicate nose.
