There is a high level of soil and sub-soil diversity in the Clos, with a mosaic of orientations and a 60-metre difference in height from top to bottom of the slope. Eleven individual vinifications in newly-acquired, small vats, now take place, so that the differences may be fully understood, and the Grand Vin carefully assembled. Over 80% whole bunches were retained, and this has been ageing in 60% new oak barrels. The wine is ruby-purple of medium depth, showing ripe, freshly complex aromas of great beauty. Palate is broadly built, with luscious fruit density, gently rounded tannins, and mouth-coating, superb length. This is a great Clos des Lambrays with the potential for smoothness, outstanding elegance and magnificent complexity (for drinking 2025-2040+).
Please note, this en primeur wine is limited to 1 case online. More may be available: please call 020 7584 7927 or email to enquire further.

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.
