2015 Vosne-Romanée, Les Suchots, 1er Cru, Domaine François Lamarche, Burgundy
Description
The colour here is a beautiful, brisk pink-purple. The nose is heady with pure red fruit, a little touch of new oak, good concentration. Bright red fruit follows on the palate, stretching out very nicely to the back. This wine is very much about the fruit and the delicacy of the approach. Good length. Drink 2022-2030.

The Lamarches began on 10th September, picking over six days and realising better yields than in 2014. This year Nicole Lamarche has been able to make exactly the wines which she wants to make, avoiding deep extraction while using around 30 percent whole bunches. Do not expect dark colours and overt concentration, but if your taste is for elegant, floral, eventually ethereal wines then this is the place to be.
