The estate
Based in Vosne-Romanée, in the heart of the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy, Domaine Nicole Lamarche is a family estate established by Henri Lamarche and Marie Grivelet, building on older winemaking roots. It extends over around ten hectares. Nicole Lamarche now oversees the vineyards and winemaking of this family property. The estate is farmed organically and holds La Grande Rue as a monopole.
The vineyard
La Grande Rue is a small climat that has been exploited as a monopole by the Lamarche family since 1933. Classified as Grand Cru in 1992, it forms a long, narrow ribbon in the heart of Vosne-Romanée. It neighbors La Romanée, La Romanée-Conti and La Romanée-Saint-Vivant to the north, and La Tâche to the south. The soils are brown limestone soils of clay-limestone composition, and are deeper at the bottom of the slope. The estate practices organic farming.
Winemaking and ageing
For this La Grande Rue Grand Cru Monopole 2022, the estate follows its usual methods. The grapes are destemmed, and fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts. Ageing then continues in oak barrels, largely previously used. The estate limits the proportion of new oak in order to preserve the fruit and the expression of the terroir. The wines are neither fined nor filtered. They are simply clarified by settling.
