2023 NICOLE LAMARCHE Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits rouge
Domaine Nicole Lamarche, based in Vosne-Romanée, is one of the most historical and prestigious family estates in the Côte de Nuits, famed as the sole owner of the iconic Grand Cru Monopole La Grande Rue. Spearheaded by Nicole Lamarche, the estate transitioned to organic farming in 2010 and has continually refined its approach toward crafting wines of ethereal finesse, delicacy, and silky aromatic elegance. Sourced from high-altitude, limestone-rich parcels situated on the slopes directly above Vosne-Romanée and Flagey-Echézeaux, this Hautes-Côtes de Nuits benefits from the exact same artisanal care, 100% manual harvesting, and precise vinification as the domaine's top Grand Crus. The 2023 vintage delivered brilliant fruit purity and floral lift. Vinified with complete destemming, low-temperature maceration, and gentle oak aging, this cuvée offers a refined, aristocratic entry point into the distinctive style of Nicole Lamarche.
