FEATURES
🏰 The 2020 Nicole Lamarche Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is a 【Grand Cru Pinot Noir from Burgundy, known for its organic viticulture and robust expression of terroir】. The 2020 vintage in Burgundy was generally very good, producing wines with excellent balance and aging potential. This wine presents a robust nose filled with tones of earth, spices, dark red fruits, red cherries, and dark raspberries. On the palate, it shows good depth with medium/high acidity and chewy tannins, well-balanced with brown spices and earthen tones.
🍴 This elegant red Burgundy pairs beautifully with classic French cuisine such as duck aiguillettes, beef bourguignon, roasted woodcock, or spring veal chop. It's also excellent with aged rib steak, various game birds like roasted quail, and soft cheeses. For a luxurious touch, consider lobster in red wine or sweetbreads with morels.
🥂 Perfect for a special dinner, a celebration of fine Burgundy, or a serious tasting session with fellow wine enthusiasts. Its complexity and depth make it a contemplative wine.

In 2019, the current owner, Nicole Lamarche, officially renamed the winery to Domaine Nicole Lamarche, and from the 2018 vintage onwards, the wines no longer bear the name of the former owner, François Lamarche.
