At the heart of Burgundy's prestige lie its renowned vineyards, which have garnered global acclaim for their exceptional wines. The names that resonate in the world of Burgundy are Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leroy, Domaine Armand Rousseau, and Domaine Georges Roumier. These vineyards have become synonymous with greatness, crafting wines that define elegance, complexity, and longevity.
Burgundy's most esteemed wines are crafted from two noble grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Vineyards such as Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, and Richebourg produce red wines that command astronomical prices due to their exceptional quality and limited production.

Vineyards like Montrachet, Corton-Charlemagne, and Meursault showcase the full potential of this noble grape, producing wines of unparalleled richness, depth, and complexity. These whites epitomize the artistry of winemaking, with each sip revealing layers of flavors and a harmonious balance between fruit, minerality, and oak.

The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cras 1er Cru comes from 0.38 hectares of vine. It offers light, slightly tertiary red berry fruit on the nose, cut from a similar cloth to some of Lamarche’s Vosne-Romanées, so that I would have liked a little more appellation character to come through. The palate is medium-bodied with bright red berry fruit laced with soy and orange peel. It builds nicely in the mouth toward a vivid, slightly meaty finish and quite a long aftertaste. Fine, although I hope the aromatics find a louder voice once in bottle.Inc. GSTSG$212.44 -

The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cras 1er Cru is a little more high-toned on the nose than Lamarche’s Vosne Premier Crus, offering morello cherry, raspberry, rose petal and blackberry scents interlaced with sous-bois and tobacco. The palate is very smooth and sensual with pure red fruit and very well-judged acidity. Sleek and stylish. This is one of my picks from the domaine this vintage.Inc. GSTSG$208.08 -

Pleasing mid crimson. There is less immediate fruit evident on the nose. Less ripe, stricter, firmer, some citrus notes, middleweight, as ever I don’t quite see the magic at least while this wine is young. More in acidity than tannin to finish. Tasted: December 2021Inc. GSTSG$735.47 -

Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes from Domaine François Lamarche was showing some volatility on the nose, though nothing to get too worried about. Hints of cherry liqueur here with a slight reductive metallic note. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannin and some hardness deriving from wood tannins on the finish. Perhaps bottle age will help this? Then again, it never quite got out of the blocks when I tasted it in barrel.Inc. GSTSG$236.42 -

The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes 1er Cru has a tightly wound bouquet of crushed strawberry and touches of orange pith, nicely defined if not as vigorous as the 2016. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red cherry and raspberry preserve on the entry, a slight tingle of licked limestone toward the second half and an easygoing but quite persistent finish.

The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes 1er Cru comes from just over half a hectare of vine split over two parcels. It has a pretty bouquet of perfumed red berry fruit laced with pressed rose petals and light sous-bois scents. The palate commences with a fleshy opening, then offers pure red fruit laced with a pinch of spice. Gentle and caressing in the mouth, with a nicely delineated finish. The headline here is just "drinkability," and it will only require a couple of years in bottle.Inc. GSTSG$897.87 -

Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts from Domaine François Lamarche has a refined and detailed bouquet: fresh strawberry, cranberry leaf and minerals, all very attractive. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, just a dab of oak to be fully subsumed, but with plenty of weight and volume on the pretty, quite spicy finish. It's just a delicious, well-crafted Vosne-Romanée and one of the best from the domaine in 2012.Inc. GSTSG$2,121.66 -

The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet of dark berry fruit, oyster shell, sous-bois and rose petals, intense and fragrant. The harmonious palate is silky-smooth on the entry with finely judged acidity. A subtle touch of spice develops nicely toward the finish, which leaves a persistent, peppery aftertaste. A toothsome Vosne-Romanée to tuck away for several years. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.Inc. GSTSG$428.27 -

The 2021 will be the final Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1er Cru from Lamarche after the division of the Domaine. Now, this has more punch on the nose compared to the Suchots and Chaumes that precede it. A light tertiary note percolates through the red fruit. The palate is harmonious on the entry with well judged acidity, very pure and ethereal in style, a hint of spice with more persistence on the finish. A delicate but admirable wine.Inc.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Suchots 2011 is more reserved on the nose than their Chaumées, but there is a touch more complexity, the brambly red and black fruit infused with fine minerality and tension. The palate is smooth and rounded on the entry with a lot of extraction so that it feels plump around the middle. Juicy and pure, what it lacks in complexity is compensated by its saturated tannins and opulent blueberry-tinged finish that is just missing some persistence, cutting away before you have had an opportunity to show your gratitude.Inc.

The 2015 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru les Suchots offers up aromas of plums, cassis and spice, followed by a medium-bodied, rather inscrutable palate without any real discernible concentration or depth.

The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru comes from a 0.58-hectare parcel of vines averaging 50 years old. The bouquet is similar to the Les Chaumes, featuring vibrant red cherries and touches of cassis, here a little more vivid in style, with good definition, though not the ravishing opulence you might find elsewhere. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins on the entry, fine acidity, gentle grip, very pure red fruit and a touch of crushed stone and black pepper toward the finish.

Good medium red. Highly complex, inviting aromas of black raspberry, mocha, licorice, black pepper, burning cinders and herbs. A lovely midweight wine whose considerable power is nicely countered by subtle sweetness and the herb and pepper nuances from the stems. The long finish features slightly peppery tongue-dusting tannins and a pungent note of licorice. But I prefer the '93 for its suavity and greater persistence. (13.2% alcohol; 3.51 pH; 3.5 g/l acidity; made from perfectly healthy grapes, according to Brouin, who vinified this wine with a sizable portion of whole clusters, as he did for the first time in 1985)Inc.
