    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Domaine François Lamarche, La Grande Rue, Grand Cru, 2008

    An archetypal Vosne Grand Cru, rich, sensual very fine and silky bordering on lavish, beautiful crushed fruit flavours of blueberries, cherries and minerals, with a complex saltiness and minerality, terrifyingly stylish and elegant.

    ABV:
    13.5%
    95/100

    The 2016 La Grande Rue Grand Cru has a very pure, almost pastille-like bouquet with copious red cherry fruit mixed with crushed strawberry and a little cassis. La Grande Rue? [Post script: Bingo!] The palate is very pretty with fine-grain tannin. This is surfeit with freshness and vitality, although it does not quite have the depth and structure of other Grand Crus from the appellation. It does fan out towards the finish. The persistence, and the saline aftertaste are very appealing. Excellent. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.
