The Winery
Lambrays, Domaine des
Clos des Lambrays is a producer located in Morey-Saint-Denis in the Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy. The domaine is famous for its Pinot Noir wines from the Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru vineyard, over which it has a near monopole. The wines are highly acclaimed by critics, regularly scoring highly in several publications. The vines in the Clos des Lambrays average around 40 years old, sitting on chalky marl and loam soils. This, combined with the aspect of the vineyard creates wines with power but also elegance. The grapes are picked and sorted by hand, and for the most part, are not destemmed. The Pinot Noir is fermented in open stainless steel vats before aging for 18 months in French oak barrels, half of which are new.
Tasting Notes
- WE98
- A beautiful, pure wine that combines freshness and intense richness. It seems to float while still giving a huge mouthful of plums, coffee and sweet, juicy tannins. A straight line of pure flavor all the way to the finish.
- WS95
- A red of purity and suppleness. Reveals a dense core of cherry, spice and mineral aromas and flavors allied to a firm structure, while great energy propels this to a long, lingering aftertaste. A combination of power and finesse. Best from 2014 through 2030.
