François Lamarche酒莊座落於Vosne-Romanée村，其家族在1740年代時就在本村開始了葡萄酒的事業。Henri Lamarche在20世紀初時正式創立了酒莊，本酒莊歷經五代，事業變得越來越有規模。1985年François Lamarche開始掌管此酒莊，在他手上將本酒莊的聲譽推上了巔峰；François於2013年過世，酒莊由他的女兒Nicole接掌；Nicole是一位年輕有個性的釀酒師，在2007年起就已經開始負責釀酒事務，為酒莊風格帶來柔美細緻的女性特質，甚至酒質有更上層樓的好評。
本酒莊的招牌是獨佔的頂級園「大街園La Grande Rue」。本園面積只有1.65公頃大，周圍被La Romanée、Romanée-Conti、Romanée-St-Vivant、La Tâche等其他頂級園包圍著，其風土條件的優異自不待言，酒質是以豐富複雜著稱。考慮到周圍其他頂級園產品的售價，大街園紅酒是布根地行家們的上選。本酒莊還有其他3處頂級園Grands Echézeaux、Echézeaux、Clos de Vougeot和幾處一級園，也都有非常高的評價。
Tasting note: Here there is less wood in evidence but also noticeably better complexity to the exceptionally spicy nose of plum, earth, Asian-style tea and pronounced floral scents. This is really quite refined as the caressing mid-palate is pure silk which contributes significantly to the sense of elegance of the medium weight flavors that are blessed with very fine concentration as well as plenty of palate coating dry extract on the markedly firm but not hard finale. This impeccably well-balanced effort should amply reward extended cellaring.
