2014 Domaine Francois Lamarche Grand Cru Monopole La Grande Rue

96 points, Decanter
"Subdued red-fruits nose, with purity of fruit and a discreet oakiness. Very rich and sleek, highly concentrated, showing lovely clarity of fruit backed by polished but present tannins. Splendid length and a harmonious finish. Ridiculously expensive, but this is a monopole Grand Cru in Vosne, and there's not much of it about."

"Bright deep colour, more red than purple. Plenty of weight here but I cannot as yet see the expected distinction. Seamless and stylish, with the fruit sitting further forward in the mouth. Still, this already shows signs of being a pleasure, but more should unfold later. Tasted Sep 2017." - Jasper Morris

93-95 points, The Wine Advocate
"The 2014 La Grande Rue Grand Cru has a wonderful bouquet similar to the Grands Echézeaux, though at the moment albeit without the same degree of complexity. Perhaps this is just more backward at the moment. The palate is very well balanced with a keen line of acidity, nicely structured, perhaps just a little more conservative than the Grands Echézeaux, but maybe that means it will offer more once in bottle. One has the sense of a La Grande Rue just biding its time. Hopefully one day I will find out its qualities once in bottle." - Neal Martin, December 2015
