A stunning collection of Burgundy from a Quebec consignor. The bottles were stored in humidity and temperature-controlled cellar.
2012 Domaine Francois Lamarche La Grande Rue Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 94 points, BurgHound.com 93 points, The Wine Advocate 93 points, CellarTracker 93 points. This is the tasting note for 2012 Domaine Francois Lamarche La Grande Rue Grand Cru from Allen Meadows - The 2012 La Grande Rue Grand Cru is of course, the Lamarche family’s centerpiece – the 1.65-hectare monopole that runs parallel to the lane that borders Romanee-Conti and La Romanee, La Tache on the other side. It has a perfumed, vivacious bouquet with open red berry fruit, hints of peppermint and dried rose petals all bursting from the glass. The definition is very fine. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins on the entry. This is very composed, nicely focused, harmonious right to the finish, though like the Grands Echezeaux I would like to see a little more substance develop with time. This is almost approachable now, but it will naturally age well for 15-20 years.
