Region: Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Variety: Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2022
The Wine
As of 2022, Lamarche’s Echézeaux comes from two lieux-dits—Les Cruots ou Vignes Blanches and Clos-Saint-Denis—totalling one hectare of 30-year-old vines. The yields are modest, the touch in the cellar feather-light, and the resulting wine radiates the grace and aromatic purity that define this estate.
The 2022 Echézeaux is a masterclass in delicacy. A bouquet of rose petal, wild strawberry, plum, and exotic spice leads into a silken palate framed by fine, chalky tannins. The balance of poise and perfume rivals far more powerful expressions from the same Grand Cru. Lamarche employs around 30% whole bunches and a mix of oak and amphora to achieve harmony and lift.
Cellared Says
Sublime, fragrant and hauntingly pure—this is Grand Cru Burgundy redefined. The 2022 vintage brings both generosity and transparency, wrapped in velvet texture. Drink 2030–2036.
Wine Reviews
“An even pinkish crimson. One of the prettier bouquets here, though still needs teasing out. As with all her wines, what starts seeming to be very much on the light side, then gives a little more concentration on the palate… could offer something in the ethereal direction with time. Attractive with some length, if little muscle.”
92–95 Points – Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
“There is so much lovely detail on the nose: kitchen spice, succulent blueberries, plums, cocoa and hints of drying bouquet. The tannins are almost drizzle-soft, but the acidity delivers quivering energy.”
95 Points – Christy Canterbury MW, Tim Atkin Burgundy Report
