At Domaine Lamarche, the harvest, which is manual, is destemmed. The Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes from Domaine Nicole Lamarche (formerly François Lamarche) comes from a clay-limestone plot, well exposed to the rising sun. This red Burgundy wine, made from the Pinot Noir grape variety and managed under organic viticulture, is aged in oak barrels (60 to 100% new wood depending on the vintage). A minimum of four years will be necessary for it to be fully appreciated.
