Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru: An Exceptional Grand Cru in Côte de Nuits

A particularly promising vintage, 2023 combines fruit maturity, natural balance, and great freshness. This cuvée appeals to both demanding enthusiasts and collectors seeking a Grand Cru that can evolve harmoniously over several decades.

Clos des Lambrays is one of the very rare historic clos in Burgundy that has retained its land unity. This uniqueness greatly contributes to the identity of its wines and their remarkable consistency.

A Historic Terroir Shaped by Centuries of Tradition

Classified among the Grands Crus of Côte de Nuits, Clos des Lambrays benefits from an exceptional terroir. The soils consist of limestone, marl, and scree that provide Pinot Noir with an expression of great finesse.

The ideal exposure of the plots promotes a gradual maturation of the grapes while preserving their freshness. Each harvest thus reveals a subtle balance between concentration, aromatic precision, and elegance.

Today, the estate continues to pursue demanding work in the vineyard and the winery to best respect the identity of the climate and the expression of the vintage.

A Promising 2023 Vintage

The year 2023 stood out for its favorable climatic conditions for excellent grape maturity. The berries exhibit beautiful concentration while maintaining perfectly integrated acidity.

The result is a precise wine, with a silky texture and remarkable energy.

Tasting and Aromatic Expression

The color shows a beautiful ruby intensity with deep reflections.

The nose gradually reveals aromas of black cherry, Morello cherry, blackberry, and wild raspberry. With aeration, notes of violet, dried rose, sweet spices, underbrush, licorice, and a delicate mineral touch emerge.

On the palate, the attack is ample and precise. The tannins are particularly fine and perfectly integrated. The velvety texture accompanies a beautiful concentration without ever weighing down the whole.

The finish is long, persistent, and refined, marked by a freshness that bodes well for excellent aging potential in the cellar.
