- Land: The Nicole Lamarche La Grande Rue Grand Cru Monopole 2021 hails from a 1.65-hectare monopole in Vosne, neighbored by Romanée-Conti and La Tâche. This prestigious location, steeped in the Lamarche family's winemaking heritage since the 18th century, provides a unique terroir that imparts a remarkable delicacy and a silk-like texture to the wine.
- Wine: This Grand Cru is celebrated for its heady aromas of tea leaves, tobacco, rose petals, red plum preserves, and blood orange, complemented by wispy, lightly dusty tannins, alluring succulence, and mouthwatering acidity. Critics commend its density, integrated tannins, and the persistent presence of red fruits and orange blossom notes across the palate. Recommended to be given at least five years before opening, it promises complexity and a balanced, sneaky long finish.
- People: The Lamarche family legacy, now under Nicole Lamarche, continues to influence the wine's excellence. Nicole, taking the reins after her father Francois's tragic passing in 2013, has maintained the domaine's focus on expressing terroir over power. La Grande Rue Grand Cru, being the estate's crown jewel, epitomizes this philosophy, offering a wine of finesse, balanced by delicate floral and fruit notes.

Burgundy, in eastern France, encompasses several subregions, but it is the Côte d'Or that is home to many of the world's most expensive and revered wines. The region, primarily a single east-facing slope, has mixed limestone soils that vary dramatically from village to village and even vineyard to vineyard. White wines, crafted from Chardonnay, range from rich and opulent to lean and intensely mineral, while Pinot Noir produces silky, perfumed red wines of exceptional finesse and complexity. Centuries of winemaking tradition have resulted in every plot being meticulously recognized and scrutinized, making the Côte d'Or a true capital of terroir.
Burgundy - Cote d'Or
Pinot Noir is a thin-skinned, notoriously difficult-to-grow, low-yielding grape that finds its ancestral home in Burgundy, France, where it produces some of the world's most elegant and nuanced wines. While Burgundy remains its spiritual heartland, Pinot Noir has since traveled the globe, finding success in other cooler climates, notably in California, Oregon, New Zealand, and Germany. This grape is a challenge for any grower, as it requires specific conditions to show its best, and yet the wines it produces are capable of such a captivating and singular character.
