Domaine Francois Lamarche Hautes Cotes de Nuits 2015 Bottle:1 January was cooler and wetterOutstanding Top value. A slightly spicier nose is wonderfully fresh with its cool and airy array of mostly dark berry fruit aromas. There is excellent volume and punch to the precise and more obviously mineral inflected flavors that deliver even better depth and length on the persistent finish. Lovely and worth considering. Here the nose is similar if slightly cooler and a bit more elegant as well. There is an attractive verve and excellent freshness
