Lamarche La Grande Rue

Need to lower their yield…

2003 is a natural low yield year.

In the 2014 vintage Nicole Lamarche also produced a special cuvée of La Grande Rue called Cuvée 1959 from a plot with old vines exchanged with Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in 1959. An experiment to harvest, vinify and age the grapes coming from the vines of this unique parcel separately from the ones originating from the rest of La Grande Rue vineyard. This practice will be followed in future vintages, with a maximum production of two barrels per vintage.

At the price 1959 commands in a year like 2014 there are better wines like Roumier BM

If your comparing prices evenly, that’s absolutely absurd they are charging that much for it. Makes Roumier BM look like a steal!
