There is a high level of soil and sub-soil diversity, with a mosaic of orientations and a 60 metre difference in height from top to bottom of the Clos. Eleven individual vinifications in newly-acquired, small vats, now take place, so these differences may be fully expressed. Over 80% whole bunches were retained, and this has been ageing in 100% new oak barrels. The result in 2019 is a gorgeous wine of sumptuous richness and complexity. Colour is solid- ruby-purple, aromas already floral, fragrant and complex. Palate shows vivacious, bouncing fruitiness, with seamless attack, middle and aftertaste, gentle tannins, and exceptionally elegant very long aftertaste. This is a very great wine (for drinking 2025-2040+).

Winemaker
Domaine des Lambrays
This lovely property was acquired by Bernard Arnault, the head of Louis Vuitton Moët-Hennessy, back in 2015. His portfolio of great wines includes Cheval-Blanc and d’Yquem, so it is not surprising that he lost no time in up-grading, wherever possible, the facilities at Domaine des Lambrays. We have been buying these beautiful wines for three decades, and are full of admiration for the passionate commitment off the new owner and his team. The Clos des Lambrays dates from 1365, the Domaine now being housed in beautiful old buildings, in the heart of Morey-Saint-Denis. The main vineyard covers 8.8 hectares of a single Grand Cru. Although not quite a Monopole (a vineyard in single hands) this is a very large holding of Grand Cru for Burgundy, and allows the estate to eliminate young vine production, or anything unripe or caught by the rain, from its top bottlings.
