Domaine François Lamarche La Grande Rue Monopole Vosne-Romanée The Vosne-Romanée vineyards are planted on deep clay-limestone soils and produce lighter wines, with more subtle aromas, and which develop more quickly. The grapes are handpicked, 80-to-100% de-stemmed (depending on the vintage) prior to a vatting period of about 15 to 18 days, in open oak vats at a controlled low temperature. The wine is then aged in oak casks for between 16 and 20 months riot to being bottled with no fining and no filtering.
