Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 1998 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru offers up aromas of raspberry preserve, forest floor and creamy new oak, followed by a medium-bodied, bright and chalky palate that's still somewhat firm and taut. The wine reflects the challenging vintage and will probably always lack charm.
About the Producer
At the heart and the summit of the estate visitors will find the eponymous Clos. There are also two plots of the Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru and four plots of the Morey-Saint-Denis village, all of them planted with Pinot noir. With the acquisition of a few “ouvrées” of Chardonnay of two “Climats” classified as Premier Cru in Puligny-Montrachet, les Folatières and the Clos du Cailleret, the estate is now complete. The estate also boasts a castle and its ancient cellar, dating back to the seventeenth century, and of one of the most beautiful gardens of the region. The garden features a three hundred year old cedar as well as orchids and a collection of roses. This classical beauty of the grounds contribute heavily to the wine’s aesthetic qualities.
