FEATURES
🏰 The 1988 Vosne-Romanée Les Chaumes 1er Cru from Nicole Lamarche is a serious and composed red Burgundy. It presents a medium garnet core with a wide, pale garnet rim. The nose offers a noble, gently aromatic profile with red-toned fruit, iron, and earthy notes, sometimes combining reduction and florality. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, harmonious, and balanced, with seductive juiciness, soft tannins, and a good length finish. Some describe it as old-fashioned, with an austere, firm character, yet possessing class and presence. 【 A Premier Cru from a great domaine 】 known for its delicacy, poise, and depth.
🍴 This elegant Pinot Noir pairs wonderfully with duck, goose, and various game birds. It also complements veal and venison beautifully.
🥂 This is a wine for sophisticated dinners and gatherings of Burgundy enthusiasts, offering a classic expression of Vosne-Romanée that rewards thoughtful appreciation.
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.
