The 2017 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru opens in the glass with an expressive aromas of sweet berry fruit, plums and orange rind that mingle with nuances of forest floor, smoked meats, cedar and spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and open-knit, with succulent acids and moderate concentration, concluding with a nicely defined finish. I expect this to flesh out a little as it bounces back from bottling.
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.
