Dusty cherry color. Old wine nose- earthy, dried fruit. Smooth mouth, dark chocolate dusty. Delicious w grilled lamb (90 views) | | | Tasted by hadlieh2 on 1/4/2022 & rated 94 points: Opened an hour before consuming Amazing, smooth-no alcohol no musty old wine nose. No dry dust. In a great place right now. Just fantastic.

J'espérais retrouver un vin pur et transparent du terroir mais malheureusement il est masqué par l'élevage, très décevant...me rapelle certains Guigal en jeunesse. (1452 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundynick on 12/25/2020 & rated 90 points: what a lovely nose, sois bois, red fruits, a little oak. The palate had silky tannins, red fruits of cherries, raspberries and plums. It had a good slug of acid, maybe just a touch too much. The finish is amazing, sweet red fruits, a little chocolate and it just goes on and on. This is delicious and certainly worthy of #christmas dinner. Expensive but worth the money @harrogatewines but for a mature #grandcru this is a bargain £130. Well worth seeking out to #giveanewwineago 90 points (1102 views) | | | Tasted by acheng on 5/21/2019 & rated 91 points: Tasted single blind tonight against 07 RSV and 72 Musigny. A fetching nose of Vosne spice that just draws you in and would not let go. Oh so polished and sophisticated aromatics! The taste however is a little too structured an unable to support the gorgeous nose. Acidity no doubt is a little jarring and reflective of the vintage. (1599 views) | | | Tasted by Miceri on 11/23/2018 & rated 93 points: Medium dark red; broad rounded bouquet, ripe strawberries; nice, rounded, well-structured; a treat (1735 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 4/14/2018 flawed bottle: HDH Burgundy Auction; 4/13/2018-4/14/2018 (Chicago, IL): Corked. (2262 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 4/14/2018 flawed bottle: Wines Tasted at HDH Auction: Slightly corked. (2191 views) | | | Tasted by bourgogre on 1/30/2016: Robe violacée. Beau nez qui s'estompe assez rapidement.
Acidité vive qui se calme en une demi-heure. Le vin a une allonge moyenne, un fruit typique, un équilibre notable,
mais tout de même assez peu de matière et de profondeur.
La première fiole de l'an passée était tout de même nettement plus satisfaisante.
Décevant .
(***) (3143 views) | | | Tasted by justburg on 1/21/2016 & rated 86 points: Dinner at Shelter in the Woods. Drank alongside the Lucien le Moine Echezeaux 2008. Dark red, with a deep and intense nose. Very representative of 2008, with lots of acidity, minerals and a touch of rusticity. Currants, sour cherries, blueberries, mocha, black tea and woodspice on the palate. Finish was short and lacking complexity. Its a decent wine, but you would expect something much more from a Grand Cru. (3006 views) | | | Tasted by bourgogre on 11/17/2015: Une robe grenat. Superbe nez de pain, de violette, de sous-bois, de feuilles automnales et de fruits fermentés. La bouche tire sur les fraises poivrées. On dit même qu’il a la fraîcheur et la franchise d’un Chorey… Son acidité, très 2008, sans doute.
Et pourtant, les arômes tertiaires rôdent !
Riche.
Équilibré.
On sent toutefois le vin fragile : Son superbe fumet ne dure pas très longtemps et sa longueur est moyenne.
Ce vin-là, il me semble, ne pourra pas vieillir beaucoup.
Ma note :
(***1/2+)
La note du clan :
Il a reçu 1 vote de première place, 3 votes de seconde place, et 3 votes de troisième pour un total de 12 points. C’est le milieu de peloton. (2662 views) | | | Tasted by CondorKhan on 10/2/2015 & rated 94 points: Pours dark garnet.
The first whiff was overwhelming… like a bag of ripe cherries and violets. Funny thing, after about 10 minutes the aroma completely blew off… I was shouting at the glass, “nooo, come back!”. Moral of the story: Don’t decant Burgundy needlessly!
On the palate, cherries, plums, earth and this particular taste which I tried to place for a while until it came to me… it tasted almost like a Flanders Red Ale like Rodenbach Grand Cru (which also goes through oak aging). It evolved appreciably over time, almost like peeling different layers of plummy fruit, and each time revealing more spice and earth. Quite full bodied for Burgundy. The finish is soft and not as acidic as I expected. Tannins were subdued but lingering. (2391 views) | | | Tasted by nicking on 9/14/2015 & rated 89 points: Au début un peu de bois, fruit rouge , pruneau , cerise , cote végétal , après ça ya une ptite acidité croquante qui arrive Et en final le fruit revient avec des notes d'évolution ( feuille morte , tabac ) j'ai eu juste un petit verre 89-92 ?? Dur à dire mais très intéressant (2314 views) | | | Tasted by phil the agony on 8/26/2015 & rated 89 points: La robe est tuilée et briquée elle aussi.Pinot Noir des USA ?? Cela semble encore être un vieux millésime...
Légèrement boisé et vanillés...Un petit côté tertiaire et de feuilles mortes aussi.
Encore un peu de fruits rouges mais il semble être déséquilibré.Une finale assez acide en fin de bouche.
Je crois pas qu'il va tenir si longtemps ...sur la pente descendante (à mon avis ).
89 pts (1159 views) | | | Tasted by Mazy on 8/9/2015 & rated 90 points: (ouvert 2 heures sans être épaulé ou carafé)
Un vin équilibré, beaucoup sur le fruit (cerises griottes avec une pointe de pruneaux), mais avec une minéralité encore présente. Les tannins sont assouplis, et en se réchauffant, on réalise que des notes tertiaires avancées apparaissent. À mon avis, ce vin est à son summum en ce moment, sinon à boire d'ici 1-2 ans. Une belle complexité. J'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir avec ce vin. (1072 views) | | | Tasted by Aenie on 11/18/2013 & rated 91 points: Open 1 hr. , perfume but in mouth is no show , 3 hrs. perfume is drop chinese spices is come with ink but in mouth is show , thick and big fruit
can't breath in a glass for long term , smell is drop down and in mouth is more acid
ps. keep it for taste again a few years (2061 views) | | | Tasted by S1 on 6/23/2011: Burgundy Thursday--23 juin 2011: from bottle
Echezeaux Grand Cru—Very fat on the palate with soft tannins, especially for ’08. Nice integration of fruits with a little citrusy tartness to balance. Love the sweet crème de cassis on the mid-palate. Finishes well. (3211 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 9/9/2010 & rated 90 points: Domaine Lamarche Tasting, Mostly 2009 From Barrel (Vosne-Romanee - Burgundy): Tasting at winery. Fragrant and a fun wine already. Red fruit with good spice has it start out more elegant, then shows good muscle and structure from middle to the end. (3623 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 4/27/2010: Domaine Lamarche Cellar Visit and Tasting (Vosne-Romanée): Tasting at Lamarche. An interesting contrast to Malconsorts just tasted, this already comes across as forward and enjoyable, but less powerful or concnetrated. Good weight and length. Also 89-91 point potential.

| Domaine Francois Lamarche Producer WebsitePinot Noir Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
