A grand cru with an almost monopoly, Clos des Lambrays is one of the best exposed terroirs on the Côte de Nuits, combining the power of a Chambertin with the velvety character of a Bonnes-Mares. Bought in 2014 by L.V.M.H. and still rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.
The 2022 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (March 2024 ): 98+/100 “Cherry core and sweet spices, firm but nuanced, straightforward and straightforward, silky tannins in this dynamic wine, with fine-tuned flavors, carried by a very persistent blast on the finish. Magnificent integration of the whole harvest."
Vinous (N.Martin - January 2024): 96-98/100 “The 2022 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru is a blend of 11 different cuvées and includes, for the first time, the plot of "30 Rangs". This vintage includes 80% whole bunches, and like La Richemoine, it is deftly subsumed on the nose, which blossoms with vivacious red berry fruit, forest floor, white truffle, and light autumn leaf scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a svelte Clos des Lambrays with a slightly chalky, mineral-rich finish. Very tender and complex, this is undoubtedly a great wine with a long-term future.”
