This is an exciting addition to our allocation range, not least because we see so few Passetoutgrains these days. It’s a style of wine that’s almost extinct. Lamarche’s version is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Gamay from a 0.43-hectare parcel of vines across the RN74 from the village of Vosne-Romanée. The fruit co-fermented in tank and open wooden fermenters, spending about 15 days on skins. The wine aged for 14 months in the domaine’s oldest barrels. A bright, juicy bargain that will surely disappear in a heartbeat.
