TASTING NOTE
- (94 - 96)+/100 Parker
- When to drink this wine? Can be drunk from 2027 to 2045. A great wine for ageing.
- Tasted by William Kelley on 20 January 2022: "The 2020 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru shows promise, with a dark bouquet of blackcurrant, elderberries and plums. There are also notes of smoked duck, spices, bitter oranges and rose petals. Of depth, it is rich and concentrated (reflecting paltry yields of only 15 hectolitres per hectare), with powdery tannins, lively acidity and a long, resonant finish. With the 2020, we are beginning to approach the levels of intensity and texture of the estate's earlier wines, and if this wine delivers on all its promise, my score will be conservative.
Presentation of the wine : Issued from the quasi-monopoly of the domain on this Grand Cru, the Clos des Lambrays of Domaine des Lambrays is vast on the scale of Burgundy. The plot is far from being homogeneous, its gentle slopes offer a diversity of exposures important for the complexity of the wine. The top of the Clos is more marly while the bottom mixes clay and limestone. The wine is matured in the cellars of the Domaine, in oak barrels, half of which are renewed each vintage. The Clos des Lambrays is the heart of the Domaine des Lambrays. That is why this site is largely dedicated to it.
