Nicole Lamarche Nuits-Saint-Georges 2023

Nicole only made tiny amounts of Nuits-Saint-Georges in 2023. This comes from organic vines in Les Herbues and Aux Tuyaux, just off the D974 before you enter Vosne. The soils here are rich in clay, and the vines are 40 years old. Roughly one-third of the cuvée was raised in Lamarche’s bespoke amphora—an artist in Italy custom-builds these beautifully decorated vessels for her. Very, very few Nuits that we know of carry this kind of elegance and digestibility. It captures the appellation's trademark depth but is really about the Lamarche elegance that defines all of this producer’s wines. Expect ripe red and black fruit with hints of spice, earth and fine tannins. Incredibly poised and drinkable, it's a stylish expression of this famous appellation.
