Tasting Notes

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.

The Lamarche family has holdings in the Echézeaux Grand Cru across several lieux-dits, with the majority located in Les Champs Traversins – one of the most highly regarded sectors, situated just above Grands Echézeaux. This part of the vineyard benefits from shallow, well-drained soils and good exposure, producing wines with aromatic lift and finer structure than some of the heavier parcels below.

2019 is a vintage of ripeness and concentration, but with a core of freshness that gives the wines energy and poise. Nicole Lamarche’s Echézeaux reflects this balance beautifully – expressive red fruit, floral notes, and a fine tannic frame. A graceful and composed expression of this often overlooked grand cru, showing the precision and elegance that now characterise the domaine under Nicole’s direction.

Scores

95 / 100

""Those who overlook Lafon’s reds do so at their own peril. The Volnay Santenots du Millieu is a prime example. The domaine owns 4ha in this climat, considered among the greatest in Volnay. Only the old vines are used, some of which are more than eighty years of age.The gentle winemaking here gives the wine a lovely, perfumed ripe cherry character, floral notes and a distinct minerality, while the texture shows elegant, fine-grained tannins, surprising freshness and a marvellous finesse.""

94 / 100

""The 2019 Echézeaux Grand Cru comes from parcels in Les Champs Traversins, Les Cruots and Clos Saint-Denis. It has a beautiful, quite ethereal bouquet of precise strawberry and morello cherry scents laced with crushed stone – just pure Pinoté. The palate is medium-bodied with satin-like tannins and fine acidity. This is not a deep or powerful Echézeaux, though it fans out with confidence on a black-pepper-tinged finish of modest length. This will drink well over the next 12–15 years.""
