Domaine Nicole Lamarche owns just over three-quarters of a hectare of the Clos de Vougeot. Although the vines in Petit Maupertuis have been rented out in a sharecropping agreement she demonstrates here that the mature vines (40 ? 50 years) are still capable of making a delicious Clos de Vougeot with its pleasantly forward cherry and pomegranate fruit aroma touched with an almost salty mineral note spice and a touch of lavender. The texture is silky and elegant with supple tan
A lighter ruby colour. Moderately dense strawberry and raspberry pastilles on the nose. The Clos de Vougeot seems on the raw side because more youthful. The same fruit profile appears on the palate just a little more tannic. Fair acidity and length.
Moderate wood sets off cooler and more restrained aromas of mostly red currant humus and newly turned earth. I very much like the gorgeous texture of the rich and caressing medium-bodied flavors that display focused power on the moderately austere firm and built-to-age finale that delivers strikingly good length. Lovely. (Drink starting 2032)
