Domaine Francois Lamarche
About Domaine Francoir Lamarche
Nicole and Natalie Lamarche have brought Domaine François Lamarche back to its former glory. The domaine has gone from strength to strength in recent years and this hasn’t gone unnoticed by leading Burgundy critic Neal Martin as he states that this is among his favourite Burgundy Domaines:
“Nicole Lamarche is one of my favourite winemakers in Vosne-Romanée and she has been instrumental in the revival of this once under-performing domaine, more famous for its propitious monopole of La Grande Rue than for the wines themselves. This is no longer the case and they have improved remarkably in recent years, typically refined and elegant, less powerful wines than their peers, pure and generally approachable earlier than others” - Neal Martin, Vinous
The Vineyards and the Wines
Most of the domaine’s holdings are in the village of Vosne-Romanée. The jewel in the crown is the monopole vineyard of La Grande Rue, a 1.65 ha which is the 2nd smallest Grand Cru vineyard in the Cote d’Or after La Romanée. La Grand Rue neighbours the fabled vineyards of Romanée-Conti, La Tâche and La Romanée. In terms of Burgundy vineyard locations, it doesn’t get more illustrious than this.

Vinous (90-92)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. |

Vinous (92-94)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. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-92)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 2021 |

Wine Advocate (88)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. |

Wine Advocate (92)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. |

Vinous (95)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. |

Wine Advocate (88)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. |

Wine Advocate (85)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. Perhaps the wine is simply closed down after bottling and will emerge from its shell with age? |

Vinous (87-89)The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru has a pretty, light nose with crushed strawberry and raspberry fruit, well-defined if just missing a little fruit concentration. The palate is medium- to light-bodied with pleasant edgy tannins, nicely pitched acidity, quite linear at the moment with a dab of spice towards the finish. Modest length. |
