Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2024 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru includes 80% whole bunch this year and matured in 60% new oak. This has a very composed bouquet, the whole bunch nicely assimilated, mainly red fruit with bergamot tea and touches of undergrowth coming through with time. Beautiful definition. The palate is medium-bodied, classic Lambrays in style, modest weight with filigree tannins. Poised towards the finish with hints of bay and tea leaf, this is a lovely Clos des Lambrays that will be difficult to resist in its youth but I am sure will age. A "cool" Clos des Lambrays.
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.
