Sourced from carefully selected village-level parcels, it offers a glimpse into the estate’s pure, terroir-driven style at a more accessible level than their famed grands crus. In the generous 2022 vintage, this wine combines ripe, seductive fruit with the elegance and finesse that define classic Pinot Noir from northern Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this Côte de Nuits Villages shows a bright, translucent ruby color with youthful violet highlights at the rim. The nose is lifted and expressive, offering notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, and cranberry, layered with hints of rose petal, dried violets, and a subtle touch of baking spice and forest floor.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, finely textured, and detailed, with silky tannins and a vibrant line of acidity that keeps the fruit fresh and focused. Flavors of red berries and pomegranate are supported by delicate notes of black tea, a whisper of oak, and a chalky, mineral nuance on the finish. The 2022 vintage brings a pleasing immediacy to the wine, making it approachable in its youth, yet the structure and balance suggest it will evolve gracefully over 5–8 years, gaining complexity and nuance with time in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine Nicole Lamarche sources this Côte de Nuits Villages from well-sited parcels in the northern part of the Côte d’Or, where limestone-rich soils with clay and marl subsoils provide both tension and depth to Pinot Noir. The vineyards benefit from a cool continental climate, promoting slow, even ripening and preserving aromatic freshness. Harvest is typically carried out by hand to allow for careful selection of bunches in the vineyard and at the winery. In the cellar, gentle vinification emphasizes purity over power: the fruit is usually destemmed (with a possible small proportion of whole clusters depending on the year), followed by a cool maceration and a controlled fermentation in vats. Aging takes place in French oak barrels, a modest proportion of which are new, to frame the wine without overwhelming its delicate aromas, resulting in a Burgundy that is both refined and precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 2022 Côte de Nuits Villages is a versatile partner at the table, pairing beautifully with roasted poultry, herb-crusted pork, veal, and dishes featuring earthy mushrooms such as a mushroom risotto or roasted root vegetables. It also works well with mild to medium cheeses like Comté, Tomme, or a soft-rind cheese. Serve slightly cool, ideally at 15–16°C (59–61°F), to highlight its aromatic lift and freshness. Decanting for 30–45 minutes when young can help the wine open up and reveal more of its floral and spicy complexity, while more mature bottles will typically only need a gentle splash into a carafe before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine Nicole Lamarche, based in the renowned village of Vosne-Romanée in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, is a historic family estate that has steadily risen to prominence under the guidance of Nicole Lamarche.
