The cuvée Clos des Lambrays is a true Burgundy nugget. Enjoying a virtual monopoly on this Grand Cru appellation, this cuvée reflects the heart and soul of Domaine des Lambrays.
The vastness of the clos, unusual in Bourgogne, conceals a mosaic of terroirs : between the marls at the top and the skilful blend of clay and limestone at the bottom, each parcel brings its own personal touch to the complexity of the wine.
If 2021 was marked by major challenges : between early frost and fungal pressure, the harvest was smaller, the resulting wine is remarkably elegant and reminiscent of the 2017 vintage. Endowed with a supple yet suave body, its bouquet reveals a symphony of aromas, oscillating between macerated cherry, blackcurrant powder and the noble plant essence of the whole harvest.
Under the ageis of Jacques Devauges, formerly of Clos de Tart, Domaine displays renewed ambition. With the blessing of LVMH and a dedicated team, the aim is clear : to restore the glory of yesteryear to the wines of Grand Cru Clos des Lambrays. In this quest, it would appear that the estate has already won some precious victories. In the glass, Cuvée Clos des Lambrays has never looked so dazzling, as evidenced by the recent rave reviews in the trade press.
