2019 | Nicole Lamarche | Grands-Echezeaux

The caressing big-bodied flavors possess excellent mid-palate density and almost painful intensity before concluding in a sappy, powerful and focused finale that is shaped by dense but attractively fine-grained tannins.

Producer Information

Domaine Nicole Lamarche (formerly François Lamarche) is a Burgundy producer based in the commune of Vosne-Romanée and farming vines in a number of highly regarded vineyards in that appellation. It is best known for its grand cru holdings in Clos-de-Vougeot, Grands-Échezeaux, Échezeaux and the monopole La Grande Rue, which was awarded grand cru status in 1992. Pinot Noir predominates and is represented in all the premier- and grand-cru wines. The domaine was founded early in the 20th Century by Henri Lamarche and his wife Marie Grivelet. Both came from Burgundy families with long histories of working in wine production. The Lamarche family can trace its ancestry of working in Vosne-Romanée vineyards back to the 18th Century. François Lamarche inherited the domaine in 1985 from his father, the son of the original Henri Lamarche, also called Henri Lamarche, who was gifted La Grande Rue as a wedding present. François's daughter, Nicole (winemaking), and her cousin, Nathalie (marketing), have taken over running the estate since Lamarche's death in 2013. After several years of producing wines under François's name, the domaine name was changed in 2018 to Nicole Lamarche. The estate now farms 11 hectares (27 acres) and makes 14 wines. Grapes are hand-harvested and sorted in the vineyard and again in the winery. Barrel aging varies across vintages and between the various appellations, but wines typically see 60-100 percent new oak. After maturing in cask for 14-20 months, the wines are bottled without fining or filtering. Lamarche also produces Chardonnay and Aligoté in its village and Bourgogne AOC wines and makes a Passe-tout-grains from a blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay.
