Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays: A Côte de Nuits Grand Cru

The DOMAINE DES LAMBRAYS CLOS DES LAMBRAYS RED is one of the Côte d’Or’s most historic and revered wines. Holding a quasi-monopole over its namesake Grand Cru vineyard in Morey-Saint-Denis, this estate (owned by LVMH) consistently produces Pinot Noir of rare distinction, celebrated for its structural grace and longevity. The Domaine’s commitment to biodynamic viticulture ensures a pristine expression of this unique terroir.

The Sommelier’s Perspective: A Century of Class

The Clos des Lambrays is characterised by a unique topographical diversity, which translates into a wine that is both complete and harmoniously balanced. It marries the robust intensity expected of a Grand Cru with a captivating aromatic delicacy.

• Aromatics: A stunning bouquet of fresh and preserved red fruits, notes of blood orange, exotic spices, and a quintessential Burgundian ‘sous-bois’ (forest floor) character.
• Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied, yet deeply concentrated. The palate is defined by svelte, fine tannins and an energetic, mineral-rich core. It expands beautifully on the finish, showcasing its pedigree and enormous aging capacity.

Service & Gastronomy

This is a wine for special occasions and a proper cellar. Ideally, allow for significant bottle age. Serve lightly cooled to allow the complex aromatics to shine.

• Gastronomic Pairings: Classic Raised Game Pie, Roast Venison with Redcurrant Jus, Pan-seared Pigeon or Squab.
• Drinking Window: Best enjoyed from 10 years after vintage, spanning several decades.
