FEATURES
🏰This 2015 Francois Lamarche Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru is a stellar example from a highly acclaimed Burgundy vintage, offering immense depth and aging potential. The 2015 vintage in Burgundy was celebrated for producing powerful and concentrated wines. This Grand Cru boasts an intense bouquet of red berry fruit, orange zest, tangerine, and blood orange, complemented by notes of wood toast, menthol, spice, violet, plum, and a smoky nuance. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit, a touch of spice, and a subtle savory, almost meaty element leading to a structured, firm, and sappy finish.
🍴 For food pairing, this sophisticated red Burgundy shines with finely prepared roasted or stewed meats like duck breast with red fruit sauce, beef Wellington, or roasted lamb. It also pairs beautifully with wild mushroom risotto or mature cheeses such as Epoisses or Brillat-Savarin.
🥂 This wine is perfectly suited for special celebrations, a luxurious fine dining experience, or a serious wine tasting among connoisseurs. It's a wine built for the cellar, promising even greater complexity with further aging.
BACKGROUND
François Lamarche is a historic winery located in the village of Vosne-Romanée, France. The primary grape variety is Pinot Noir. The winery was founded in the early 20th century by Henri Lamarche and his wife, Marie Grivelet, both of whom hailed from Burgundy and had extensive experience in wine production. In 2019, the current owner, Nicole Lamarche, officially renamed the winery to Domaine Nicole Lamarche, and from the 2018 vintage onwards, the wines no longer bear the name of the former owner, François Lamarche.
