FEATURES
🏰The 1999 Domaine Francois Lamarche Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts is a 【full-throttle red 布根地 from a prestigious 1er Cru vineyard, showing a symphony of black and red fruit, smoked bacon and grilled meat】. The 1999 vintage for this wine is described as wonderful, dark in color, medium- to full-bodied, complex and exotic. It was noted to require 6 to 8 years of bottle age to show its best. Aromas of iron, cherry, and red plum with game and Vosne spice overtones. On the palate, expect cherry, iron, earth, and red berry fruit, along with some light tobacco and Vosne-Romanée spices (especially cinnamon), good fruit and acidity. It offers a velvety texture with flavors of cherry, raspberry, anise, and iron.
🍴 This wine is an excellent match for coq au vin, and also pairs beautifully with roasted duck, game, or aged cheeses.
🥂 Ideal for a special occasion dinner, especially with classic French cuisine, or for a serious 布根地 tasting among connoisseurs.
Kindly reminder: For a wine of this age, expect a beautiful evolution of tertiary aromas like forest floor, leather, and dried fruit. The cork and capsule should be handled with care, and decanting is recommended to separate any sediment and allow the wine to breathe.
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.
