2017 Domaine François Lamarche La Grande Rue Grand Cru 3 x 750ml (In Bond)

A 10 ha domaine in Vosne whose jewel in the crown is the monopole La Grande Rue, which was elevated to Grand Cru status in 1992. This monopole in the heart of Vosne is now undoubtedly back where it should be, among the appellation’s very finest wines. There are savoury aromas of spice, cured meat, and a hint of dried herbs on the nose. The palate has remarkable tension and purity. It’s vibrant and fresh, super complex, with amazing potential, but currently very restrained. The length gives a hint of how far this will go.
