Vosne Romanee la Grande Rue 2012 Francois Lamarche

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (93)

Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 La Grande Rue Grand Cru from Lamarche has a fabulous bouquet that gently unfurls in the glass: fine mineralité and tension, wonderful precision here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tensile tannin, crisp and poised, tightly wound and certainly needing several years to really show its mettle, but a great wine that is both understated yet intense. I'll be cautious now, but I would not be surprised to see this gain more favourable reviews in the future.

Sweet and spicy but not as expressive as one would hope. All, understandably, is in transition here.
