Clos des Lambrays, Grand Cru, 2016

Available Vintages
justerini & brooks tasting note

A beautiful Lambrays. So juicy, elegant and floral with just enough edge and austerity to keep you coming back for more, whilst giving definition to the ripe, flowing berry fruits. Notes of cherry blossom, violet raspberry, blueberry, red cherry and loganberry with hints of freshly crushed spices and notes of sage. Seriously moreish. Fermented with 80% whole bunches and aged in 50% new oak barriques.

critic reviews

93+/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2016 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru is extremely well defined on the nose with blacker fruit than its peers, wet limestone scents percolating through the red berry fruit, somehow sedate and effortless. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, nigh perfect acidity, a touch of fleshiness towards the finish. It is not the most ambitious Grand Cru, yet in terms of sheer pleasure, this hits the spot. Drink over the next 15 to 20 years. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2016 tasting.
