In 2021, Nicole Lamarche’s La Grande Rue Monopole Grand Cru is all about finesse rather than power, with delicate red cherry and floral tones wrapped in finely textured, gently gripping tannins. The palate is precise and graceful, showing slightly more depth than the estate’s Echézeaux, with cool, bright acidity and a subtly spicy, savoury edge that promises extra nuance with a few years in bottle. This is a refined, somewhat reserved expression of the vineyard that should reward those willing to wait.

La Grande Rue Monopole Grand Cru by Nicole Lamarche is an exceptionally rare Pinot Noir from a tiny 1.65‑hectare monopole in Vosne‑Romanée, a narrow strip of vines lying between La Tâche and the Romanée crus on fine, well‑drained clay‑limestone soils. Long regarded as the jewel of the Lamarche family, it is celebrated for its silky texture, lifted floral and red‑fruit aromatics, and a refined, understated power that expresses one of Burgundy’s most privileged terroirs with great finesse and longevity.
