FEATURES
🏰The 2016 Burgundy vintage, despite a challenging growing season marked by frost and mildew, ultimately produced wines of exceptionally high quality, renowned for their balance and poise. François Lamarche's Vosne Romanée La Grande Rue, a monopole Grand Cru, is a testament to this, offering a wine that is both rich and elegant. Expect delightful, medium-bodied reds with juicy cherry fruit, supple tannins, and a complex aromatic profile that includes notes of red berries, spice, and a hint of earth. 【A rare and highly acclaimed monopole Grand Cru from a challenging yet rewarding 2016 Burgundy vintage】.
🍴 Cantonese food pairing: Crispy skin roast pork, steamed garoupa with ginger and spring onion, or delicate dim sum. For a Western pairing, consider pan-seared duck breast with cherry sauce, mushroom risotto, or fine charcuterie.
🥂 Fit for event: A special celebration, a serious Burgundy tasting, or a thoughtful gift for a connoisseur. This wine is approachable now with decanting but will benefit significantly from further cellaring.
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.
