This is quite ripe though still fresh & bright with intensely spicy aromas of red berry & cherry liqueur. There is a seductively silky texture... excellent depth as well as seriously impressive persistence.... lovely effort... terrific.

Real class bounds out of the glass here. You get the impression that you could do virtually anything in the cellar and this would still shine. Lovely freshness yet concentration and subtlety too. Great stuff! Sinewy.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanee, La Grande Rue

La Grand Rue is a 4-acre Grand Cru vineyard squeezed between La Tache and La Romanee-Conti, in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. The vineyard is highly unusual in that it was elevated to Grand Cru status only in 1992, despite the fact that for much of the 20th century the wine was considered Grand Cru quality. La Grand Rue is a monopole of the Domaine Francois Lamarche, of Vosne-Romanee.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
