The 2022 vintage confirms the expertise of the estate with a generous, precise wine of great elegance. Each bottle faithfully translates the personality of this Grand Cru classified climate, where the richness of the terroir expresses itself with rare intensity.

Highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike, Clos des Lambrays is an essential reference among the Grands Crus of the Côte de Nuits.

A historic vineyard in the heart of the Côte de Nuits

Clos des Lambrays is one of the few Burgundian clos that has traversed the centuries while maintaining a large part of its unity. This continuity allows the estate to preserve a strong identity and remarkable coherence from one vintage to the next.

The vines rest on limestone soils mixed with marls and stones that promote deep rooting. This geological diversity gives the wine its complexity, tension, and length on the palate.

All the work carried out in the vineyard aims to precisely reveal the nuances of the terroir while respecting the natural balances of each harvest.

A perfectly mastered sunny vintage

The 2022 vintage benefited from a warm summer accompanied by relatively cool nights. These conditions allowed for perfectly ripe grapes while maintaining a beautiful freshness.

The wine thus presents a generous body, supported by a precise structure and excellent tension.

The palate impresses with its balance. The attack is ample without excess, carried by a silky texture and finely grained tannins.

The finish lingers long on notes of black fruits, warm stone, and delicate spices, leaving a particularly persistent sensation of freshness.
