The Lamarche Echézeaux comes from three lieux-dits: Les Cruots ou Vignes Blanches, Clos-Saint-Denis and Les Champs Traversins. Altogether, these parcels make up about 1.3 hectares of vines with an average age of 30 years. Nicole Lamarche works with meagre yields here, which, alongside the domaine’s delicate extraction, results in one of the appellation’s best wines. Jasper Morris MW has written that this cuvée “has almost as much to offer as the Grands Echézeaux. True, the latter has greater weight and power, but the Echézeaux... is particularly elegant in its immaculate, lacy style”.
“A little more depth of cherry red colour here and a delicate but charming bouquet. Builds to the back, a little smokiness and a touch of pepper, a gracious and quite delicate Echezeaux of middling intensity but some length.” 92-94 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
