Very impressive and elegant for a HCDN - probably the best I’ve ever had. More red fruits with good fruit presence and weight, but excellent balance as well. Drinking very well now and will for likely another 5+ years

Medium ruby red colour. Medium nose with wild raspberry, ripe pomegranate, forest floor, vanilla, mint and coffee. Medium taste of wild raspberry, ripe cherry, forest floor, vanilla, roasted walnuts and dried orange. Long and dry finish. Medium acidity. Light tannins. Medium body. A very good Hautes-Côtes de Nuits that is well integrated and balanced. Much warmer than the 2016. Needed an hour to open up. Drink now or over the next couple of years. Goes well with duck, pork, poultry or veal.

Light red, fully clear. Nose with ripe strawberries and raspberries with hints of cranberries and cherries, some undergrowth and truffle aromas, hints of green notes, and flowery notes. Medium minus body, a light style but still good concentration of aromas, strawberry and raspberry notes, good acidity, fine chalky minerality, light tannins, and a fresh aftertaste with berries and mineral. Overall a very fresh, pure and elegant style, and complex for a "simpler" appellation. Approachable now but can definitely keep, 89 p.
This is recognisable as a 2015 (only) by being a very good wine, and where a "simpler" appellation as HCdN shines. Less dark fruit notes than most 2015s, but I guess it is true to the Lamarche style by its emphasis on the elegant side of Pinot. This is definitely a style of Burgundy that I like.

A little bit light up front, but mouthwatering depth of flavor on the back end. Not bad for a true burgundy at this price point, but given the vintage I had hoped for more.

Klar, dyp funklende rød. Parfymert nese med markjordbær, skogsbær, musk og mild fiol. Noe eik. Ren og transparent frukt med moderat konsentrasjon. Preget av røde bær. Mild fruktsødme. Frisk syre. Lett slør av milde, modne tanniner. Tørr utgang med fin lengde

Red cherry and berry, particularly opulent and ripe aromas. While also ripe flavors, there is so much weight and elegant structure so it comes across so well balanced and textured for its cost and level. So good right now, probably even better 2020 forward.

Farge: Lys, klar rød. På nesen: Fantastisk ren og innbydende pinotduft. Litt treverk. I munnen markjordbær, kirsebær, litt krydder. Veldig ren og fin. Ganske bra lengde. Litt avdempet eik kommer inn på slutten, men ikke mer enn at jeg synes det er kledelig. Frisk og fin syre. 91 poeng for nesen, 89 for munnen. Så dyrt som Burgund er blitt, synes jeg dette er mye for pengene - tross alt. (Kr 336,90)

Medium ruby red colour. Medium and developing nose with wild raspberry, ripe pomegranate, vanilla, mint, forest floor, chocolate and coffee beans. Medium taste of wild raspberries, pomegranate, forest floor, vanilla, roasted walnuts and orange peel. Long and dr finish. High acidity. Light tannins. Medium body. A very good Hautes-Côtes de Nuits that has matured beautifully and is well balanced an integrated. Needed an hour to open. Drink now or over the next couple of years. Duck, pork or veal.

Vinen har en ren lysere rød farge, nesten med rosa skjær i seg. På nesen er vinen fruktig, leken og ukomplisert med presise røde bær der markjordbær og bringebær dominerer aromabildet.
Vinen er middels konsentrert med syrlige jordbær og bringebærsfrukter som er dynket i lett kvinneparfyme. Tanninene er softe og syren flott til stede. Der ser du – det er mulig å lage en burgund fortsatt innenfor rimelighetes grenser!

Dégustation au domaine Très clair, limpide et brillant, il exhalait de jolis aromes floraux gorgés de cerise et de framboise, tout en élégance et legereté; d'une finesse tout feminine, d'une pureté simple et aerienne, il a donné le ton d'une dégustation découverte du millesime 2015 sans extraction mais toujours fidèle aux terroirs

Magisk nese til nivået, masse toppfrukt, anis, god syre. God lengde. Balansert.

Amazing complexity for its level- perhaps the best HCDN ever? Wow - 2015 at it finest. So pure red fruit

Sweet and sour cherry. Dark fruit. Lacking expected acidity. Some oak. Slightly too heavy handed pinot for me.

Very nice bottle of burgundy. Tasted a bit young, but still good. Popped and poured.

Small, crunchy red berries, sous bois, med+ acid, tart finish. Prototypical bourgogne
