Lamarche holds 1.35-hectares of vineyards in the Clos de Vougeot situated in three terroirs: one at the top of the Clos near to the Château (actually two small parcels in the area known as Montiotes Hautes), one in the middle tranche on the Vosne side (Petits Maupertis), and the remaining parcel lower down, near the RN74 (Baudes Basses). All three parcels are picked at the same time. As you might expect, Nicole Lamarche chooses to vinify a finer, prettier expression of the Clos—very Vosne in style. Vougeot seldom comes with a structure as lacy and as elegant as this. That said, a terroir can’t completely change its spots and, in the context of this producer, you will naturally find more power and more mineral, savoury structure when compared to the other wines listed here.

Reviews

“A nicely broad and unusually perfumed mélange displays notes of earth, spice, red currant and blackberry. The rich, delicious and supple middle weight plus flavors possess excellent delineation on the vibrant, intense and driving youthfully austere finish that immediately tightens up to confirm that this will also need extended keeping before it fully reveals its full potential. Even so, this is undeniably prettier than it usually is and while the word 'elegance' and Clos de Vougeot are rarely used in the same sentence, this is the exception that proves the rule.”
