Reviewed January 2023This presents a whirl of heady aromas on the nose: tea leaves, tobacco, rose petals, red plum
preserves and blood orange. The tannins are wispy and lightly dusty, the succulence is
alluring and the acidity is mouthwatering. Nicole says it's never worth "checking" on a bottle
of La Grande Rue before five years. I'd give it at least that long!

The usual lighter colour but with a delicious nose, slightly riper strawberries. Here there is notably greater density on the palate, with still the right acidity behind. Tannins are integrated, the red fruit remains fully present across the palate, and delivers good length. Little orange blossom notes as ever, and considerable persistence. Fine if less intense than certain years. Drink from 2029-2038.

Firm reduction overshadows the fruit and spice elements. The sleek, delicious and vibrant middleweight flavors offer slightly better density and notably better complexity on the moderately austere and sneaky long and balanced finale. At least some patience will be required as this is also tightly wound.

The 2021 La Grande Rue Grand Cru comes from the famed 1.65-hectare monopole of Lamarche on the other side of the lane from Romanée-Conti. It has another light, airy nose, red cherries and a touch of tertiary scents, missing some of the vigour the 2020 exuded last year. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. This is very pure, a tad more weight than the Echézeaux, nicely judged acidity with hints of white pepper and thyme towards the nicely proportioned finish. This should give 12-15 years of drinking pleasure. (NM)
