2023 La Grande Rue, Cuvee 59, Domaine Nicole Lamarche

This is aromatically similar to the regular cuvée if perhaps just a bit spicier. There is by contrast more volume on the palate to the plump, round and caressing medium-bodied flavors that deliver even better depth and persistence on the beautifully balanced, firm and equally compact finale. This is excellent and a wine that should amply repay extended cellaring. ~ (95) Allen Meadows, Burghound 1-10-2025
