Resting in the hands of the same family, the origins of Domaine Lamarche go back several generations. Indeed, since 1797, fourteen different wines have been produced there, on the prestigious terroirs of Vosne-Romanée and Vougeot.
Today the Domaine covers 11.23 hectares divided equally between Pinots Noirs on one hand, and Chardonnays and Pinots Blancs on the other.
Famous for exploiting in monopoly one of the Rares Grands Crus of Vosne-Romanée, La Grande Rue, it also has three other Grands Crus, including Clos de Vougeot, Echezeaux and Grands-Échezeaux.
François Lamarche took over the management of Domaine in 1985 until his death Brutal 2013 where his daughter Nicole took over the work from the vineyard to the winery while his cousin Nathalie Lamarche is in charge of the management of Domaine.
It is since 2010 that the vineyard has gone organic with the aim of pRéserver this exceptional terroir. In 2018, Nicole Lamarche decided to put her name in place of her father's on the bottle labels.
The Lamarche family produces and ages its own wines; low yields, perfect grape ripeness as well as strict sorting characterize the wines produced at Domaine Lamarche.
The grapes are exclusively harvested by hand.
It is a Grand Cru Appellation of the Côte de Nuits, produced in the commune of Flagey-Échezeaux. The wines are solid and full-bodied and are among the most prestigious in Burgundy. The Grands-Echezeaux surpass the Echezeaux in power, generosity and volume of mouth. Silky amplitude, fullness, robustness and finesse characterize them.
When young, the wine develops aromas of great finesse evoking cherry and cocoa bean, a fine and rare touch sought after in the "climat". With ageing, these aromas evolve towards notes of undergrowth, truffle, fine leather and sometimes an imperceptible touch of cigar and cedar. The tannins are noble, fine-grained, the silkiness and freshness are perfectly complementary and harmonious.
