Appellations
Grand Cru · Côte de Nuits
La Grande Rue
Vosne-Romanée · red · 1.65
A narrow strip between La Tâche and Romanée-Conti, promoted from premier cru in 1992.
Under the vines
The same mid-slope band as its neighbours, in a long thin parcel running up the hill.
In the glass
Structured and savoury, historically inconsistent and much improved since the promotion.
Why it sits here
A monopole of Domaine Lamarche. Its elevation is the clearest proof the classification can still move.
Commonly misread
That its address guarantees the wine. For decades it did not, which is why the promotion took so long.
