Vosne Romanee la Grande Rue 2013 Francois Lamarche

Professionele reviews

Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 La Grande Rue Grand Cru has a backward and broody bouquet, very complex with hints of woodland, damp earth and fern filtering through the tightly wound red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple and very fine, almost filigree tannins. The acidity is beautifully judged here -- very focused and refined, seamless towards the sophisticated finish. This is one of the best vintages of La Grand Rue that I have tasted, which is a considerable achievement given that this was not an exemplary growing season.

Pure, boasting cherry, raspberry, spice and mineral aromas and flavors. Features a dense structure, ending with a chalky feel. Shows excellent length and balance.
