The Estate

Domaine Nicole Lamarche traces its origins to the early 20th century, when Henri Lamarche founded the estate in Vosne-Romanée, in the heart of the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy. After several generations of family ownership, Nicole Lamarche took over the running of the estate starting with the 2006 vintage and gave it its current name in 2018. Now at the helm of the property, she has steered the estate towards organic farming and continues to pursue purity and transparency of terroir. The estate is particularly renowned for its monopole La Grande Rue, a Grand Cru nestled between Romanée-Conti and La Tâche.

The Vineyard

The Côte de Nuits-Villages cuvée comes from parcels located within this village appellation of the Côte de Nuits, spread across several communes around Vosne-Romanée. The soils are clay-limestone, typical of the region, and the vineyard is managed according to organic farming principles, with controlled yields, hand-harvesting and rigorous grape sorting.

Vinification and Ageing

The vinification of this Côte de Nuits-Villages Village 2024 follows the estate's philosophy, based on gentle, low-extraction fermentation in order to preserve the purity of the fruit. Ageing takes place in oak barrels, with a measured proportion of new oak, to support the wine without masking the expression of the terroir.
