Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays 2016

Domaine des Lambrays in Morey-Saint-Denis is one of the important names of the Côte de Nuits. At its heart is the Grand Cru Clos des Lambrays, almost entirely owned by the domaine – a historic monopole with limestone- and marl-rich soils that produces wines of particular finesse and depth. The focus is clearly on Pinot Noir, vinified here in a style that combines silkiness, aromatic precision and complexity. Red and dark berries, floral notes, fine herbal spice and a cool, chalky minerality define the profile. Careful canopy work, low yields and gentle oak use ensure elegance rather than over-extraction. The wines of Domaine des Lambrays have excellent ageing potential and are considered a benchmark for great, terroir-driven Morey-Saint-Denis wines.

The Burgundy (Bourgogne) wine region is shaped by small parcels and historic vineyards. The focus here is on two grape varieties – Pinot Noir and Chardonnay – which reflect soil, climate and craftsmanship with exceptional transparency.

Between Dijon and Mâcon, a narrow band of vineyards stretches for around 250 km, each with its own distinctive character.
