Domaine François Lamarche are sole owners of La Grande Rue, one of the four grand cru monopoles of Vosne-Romanée (La Tâche, La Romanée and La Romanée-Conti are the others).

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.

‘Les Chaumes’ is a Premier Cru vineyard that lies just below La Tâche. The soils here are deep and rich in clay, producing wines with generosity and supple structure. The 2010 vintage was a classic for the Côte de Nuits – a cooler year that delivered precision, balance and ageing potential.

This is a finely judged expression of Vosne-Romanée – red fruit, spice and soft tannins, with the characteristic lift and finesse found in this part of the village. A wine that speaks clearly of its site and the quiet confidence of this historic domaine.
