The vineyard is enviably situated between La Tâche to the south and La Romanée-Conti, La Romanée and Romanée-Saint-Vivant to the north. In truth, it is simply a continuation of the La Tâche vineyard and can be thought of as a lighter-bodied (and somewhat lighter priced) version of La Tâche*. The site first came into Lamarche hands in 1933 and has been a monopole of the family ever since. After La Romanée, La Grande Rue is the smallest of the Vosne Grand Crus. Clive Coates MW writes: “La Grande Rue, in my view, is a more feminine wine than La Tâche. It is closer to Romanée-Saint-Vivant.” Meadows also tells us (in The Pearl of the Côte) that the wine’s ageing potential most closely mirrors that of Romanée-Saint-Vivant. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs always, comparisons are problematic—La Grande Rue clearly has its own personality and it is clearly a site of great class. When you taste this wine next to the same producer’s Echézeaux and Clos de Vougeot (which are themselves superb examples of their respective Grand Cru vineyards), the sheer class and depth of La Grande Rue is self-evident. The 2016 is clearly a milestone vintage for this vineyard and this producer. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Francois Lamarche","offers":[{"title":"Default

Leroux could hardly conceal his excitement when he first told us that he had access to a parcel of vines in this famous site, which he calls the ‘King of Volnay’. That excitement has certainly been borne out in the wines released so far. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eBordering 1er Cru Les Santenots to the south, and En Champans to the north, Caillerets is a beautifully exposed terroir that sits mid-slope and is exploited by growers such as d’Angerville, Lafarge and Pousse d’Or. The 14-odd hectare vineyard is subdivided into three lieux-dits, with Leroux now farming 0.5 hectares of Pinot Fin (planted in 1945, 1985 and the late ‘90s) in the area known as Caillerets-Dessus. Crafted with a high proportion of whole bunches (60%—only the fruit from the youngest vines was de-stemmed), the wine was aged in roughly one-quarter new oak.

Inside Burgundy’s Jasper Morris tells us, “Good Cazetiers gives a feeling of refinement and precision which has an intellectual appeal as well as being vinously satisfying.” This steep, 8.43-ha vineyard is located directly up-slope from the village of Gevrey, flanked by Clos Saint-Jacques and Combe aux Moines. Leroux’s plot has 40-year-old Pinot Fin vines, situated mid-slope on “A gorgeous terroir next to the Clos Saint-Jacques,” notes Leroux.
