Collection: Nicole Lamarche
Domaine François Lamarche was renamed Domaine Nicole Lamarche in 2019, and there has been speculation about its future. Due to the Napoleonic Code, the inheritance of traditional Burgundian domaines can be complicated, and Nicole Lamarche's cousin, Nathalie Lamarche, has claimed her share and sold a portion of the vineyards. This change will take effect from the 2022 vintage, leaving Domaine Nicole Lamarche with 5 hectares of prime Vosne terroir, including La Grande Rue. Nicole Lamarche now has full control over the domaine's operations, which she has guided back to prominence in the past decade.
The domaine emphasizes precise organic viticulture, careful cultivation, and low yields to achieve higher quality. Nicole's gentle approach and minimal extraction in the cellar aim to reflect the finesse of Vosne's terroir. The 2020 vintage showcases another exceptional release from this dynamic grower. In a low-yielding year, picking began on August 27th, with outstanding fruit condition and lower sugar levels. Light extraction and gentle pressing resulted in wines with surprising acidity and purity.
Nicole used 10-30% whole bunches and minimal new oak, focusing on preserving finesse. The Premier Crus received 20-30% new oak, while the Grand Crus had a maximum of 30-40%. The domaine has also experimented with low-impact Stockinger barrels and amphorae.
Overall, Nicole Lamarche's actions in the vineyard and cellar aim to enhance the natural finesse that characterizes her wines. These wines achieve a balance of finesse and intensity, making Domaine Nicole Lamarche a destination for those seeking fragrant, lively, and ethereal wines. - Peta W
'A domaine that continues to make great strides under the current generation. " - The World of Fine Wine, Issue 47
'Lamarche is now a top domaine, with wines which express themselves through their subtlety rather than their power. Since 1999, and more especially since 2005, the quality has been top-notch. This is now a three star domaine. " - Clive Coates MW, My Favourite Burgundies
