History

Ancestors of the Lamarche family were already established in the village of Vosne-Romanée in around 1740. Since the end of the 19 th century (for five generations), the estate has grown bigger over the years: Henri Lamarche, a cooper, married Marie Grivelet from Chambolle-Musigny and founded the estate at the beginning of the 20 th century He produced, matured and already sold his wines directly from the estate.

 

Their son, Henri Lamarche, born in 1903, took over the estate. He inherited la Grande Rue in 1933, the year of his marriage to Aline Demur (la Grande Rue would become a grand cru for the INAO in 1989, the decree being passed in 1992). They would have four children, including François and Geneviève.

 

François took over the 'reins' of the estate when his father died in 1985. Today, there are two generations to welcome you at the estate: François Lamarche and his wife, Marie-Blanche, are in charge, respectively, of the winemaking and sales. Geneviève Lamarche (the sister of François) manages the accounts, Nicole (François and Marie-Blanche's daughter) is taking over the viti-vinicultural part, under the watchful eye of her father, and Nathalie (Geneviève's daughter) the sales part with her aunt.

 

Nicole Lamarche took sole responsibility for Domaine Lamarche in 2019. She inherited the family’s superb line-up of vineyards from her father, François, whose name had previously graced the estate. Her hard work has resulted in the domaine becoming one of the stars of Vosne-Romanée. Nicole has redesigned the domaine’s labels; the vineyards are meticulously managed; grapes are hand-harvested and sorted both in the vineyard and the winery and the amount of new oak has been reduced. The result is the creation of a style of Burgundy which she loves: fragrant, elegant and refined. Her vineyards are top notch - the domaine owns substantial chunks of grands crus Clos de Vougeot, Echezeaux, and Grands Echezeaux. But their monopole grand cru, La Grande Rue, which lies between two Domaine de la Romanée-Conti monopoles - La Tâche and La Romanée-Conti - is what really sets it apart. Nicole also owns a range of premiers crus in Nuits-St-Georgesand Vosne. The majority of her vineyards are Pinot Noir, but she also produces a small range of Chardonnay and Aligoté in her village and Bourgogne level holdings.

Vineyards

Half way between Dijon, the capital of the region of Burgundy, and Beaune, the capital of Burgundy wine, between the Clos de Vougeot and Nuits Saint Georges, Vosne-Romanée, securely rooted into its venerable cellars, is – thanks to its great wines – one of the French wine-producing villages which are the best known throughout the world. The vines face due east and its grand appellations run down alongside the church as far as the Priory of Saint Vivant.

 

From a 'geological' point of view, the grands crus lie on oolite in ferruginous limestone soils - with stony, rocky or clay-marl subsoil - which give full-bodied, well-structured wines, deep in colour and with greater ageing capacity. The Vosne-Romanée AOC vineyards are planted on deeper, clay-limestone soils and produce lighter wines, with more subtle aromas, and which develop more quickly.
