Nicole Lamarche Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Chaumes 2019

PRE-ARRIVAL DUE MID JUNE

Lamarche owns a solid half-hectare in Les Chaumes, a superb vineyard that is located right under Aux Malconsorts and La Tâche. The vines here are now between 30 and 40 years old. At this address Chaumes produces extremely fine-boned, perfumed and sensual Vosne. As per the other 2019s, this was fermented with 30% whole bunches.

Very pretty mid red of no great depth, doesn’t need to be. The nose shows a little elegant red fruit, but is not really au rendez-vous. Then there is an impressive depth of fruit, right from the start of the palate, a few orange zest notes in with raspberry and strawberry, very long, sensual finish. Another Chaumes success for Nicole Lamarche. 91-94 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
