Beautiful aromas and flavors of sandalwood, rose, strawberry and raspberry are married to an elegant, lacy frame. Intense, yet light-weight, with fine complexity and a long, fruit- and spice-filled aftertaste. Best from 2015 through 2035. 150 cases imported. –BS

The 2009 Clos des Lambrays continues to shine. The self-effacing Thierry Brouin has conjured an exquisite bouquet of wild strawberry, scorched earth, small red cherries and a touch of undergrowth. Brouin’s style is to keep everything contained, natural and unpretentious and so you get a comparatively conservative Clos des Lambrays that is underpinned by light, tensile tannins, with a veneer of red fruit, not great weight but rather weightlessness that is unusual for this vintage. It is in keeping with the domaine’s approach to Pinot Noir, one that I have learned to appreciate more and more with passing years. Tasted March 2013.<br/>
Producer
Domaine des Lambrays
Representing the nobility of Burgundy wines, Domaine des Lambrays was originally founded in 14th century, although it wasn’t until 1981, that the property was promoted to a Grand Cru status. As one of the oldest Grand Cru vineyards in the regions, Clos des Lambrays, has passed through the hands of many vinous players over the years. Since 2014 however, the estate has been under the ownership of the Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton group. Planted to 100% Pinot Noir vines, the walled-off vineyard totals around 9 hectares. Stretching over the steepest slopes of Morey Grand Crus, the Clos des Lambrays is made up of three main vineyards which reveal their own distinct terroirs. In the end, the wines flawlessly portray the delicate character and sophisticated taste of their holdings within the Morey-Saint-Denis area of Burgundy’s Côtes de Nuits.
