An attractive range of red berries on the nose, so evidently Vosne side rather than central Nuits. Builds quite well on the palate, a little oak, some spices, and finishes well. Drink from 2027-2032.

The soils are rich in clay, and the vines are 40 years old.

An artist in Italy custom-builds these beautifully decorated vessels. For Nicole, the wine possesses the identity of Nuits but with the finesse of Vosne. \u003cstrong\u003eBibendum\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER:  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eNicole \u003cspan data-markjs=\"true\" class=\"markxl4sc5cqi\" data-ogac=\"\" data-ogab=\"\" data-ogsc=\"\" data-ogsb=\"\"\u003eLamarche\u003c\/span\u003e’s name has become synonymous with finesse and a very light touch in the cellar.

Degrees sit around 12.5%, with only the Grand Cru reaching above 13%. Despite the periods of warmth, she feels that 2022 is “a very Pinot year,” and her lacy, elegant wines back up this assessment. Such purity and finesse, however, do not come at the expense of intensity; this is the beauty of Nicole \u003cspan data-markjs=\"true\" class=\"markxl4sc5cqi\" data-ogac=\"\" data-ogab=\"\" data-ogsc=\"\" data-ogsb=\"\"\u003eLamarche\u003c\/span\u003e.
