Domaine Francois Lamarche - La Grande Rue Grand Cru Monopole - 2017

Producer: Domaine François Lamarche - Vineyard: La Grande Rue Grand Cru Monopole, Vosne-Romanée - Vintage: 2017 - Overview: One of Burgundy’s most revered monopoles, delivering depth, perfume, and structure in a single-vineyard grand cru. Concentrated fruit balanced by mineral grip and refined tannins; built for long aging (typically 15–25+ years). Limited production with high allocation demand. Tasting notes - Nose: violet, black cherry, cassis; whispers of licorice, cocoa, and graphite; subtle spice and mineral undertones. - Palate: full-bodied and concentrated; black fruit core (blackberry, plum) with refined, firm tannins; bright, integrated acidity; velvety yet structured texture. - Finish: long and precise, with mineral persistence and evolving spice.
